ON November 18 at approximately 2:15 a.m., frontline officers were conducting patrols in the 9100-block of King George Boulevard when they recognized a male from a previous incident who was wanted on outstanding warrants.

Officers arrested the man for outstanding warrants from Delta and Langley. Subsequently, a loaded firearm was located on the man.

Ryan Michael Harker, 42, of Langley has been charged with five firearms-related offences, one count of obstruction and one count of breach of release order.

He remains in custody awaiting his next court appearance.

“Thankfully no bystanders were injured during the incident,” said Constable Parmbir Kahlon, Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer. “This is a great example of proactive police work resulting in the arrest of an individual to keep our community safe.”

As this matter is now before the courts, there will be no further details provided, police said.
