IHIT executes search warrant on Surrey rural property

THE Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced on Tuesday that it has executed a search warrant on a Surrey rural residence in the 18200-block of 83 Avenue as it continues to advance a recent homicide.

IHIT is working in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, the Integrated Police Dog Service (IPDS) and the RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS).

“Due to the size of the property, there will be a large police presence over the next few days as we continue to process the property,” said IHIT Sgt. Timothy Pierotti.

He added: “At this time we can’t say to which file this is relating, as we need to protect the integrity of the investigation and respect the privacy of those involved.”

Further information will be released once available, IHIT said.
