RICHMOND RCMP have released video and images in Friday night’s reported kidnapping.
The incident occurred on April 24 at approximately 10:10 p.m. in the parking lot of the Bamboo Grove Restaurant located at 6920 No. 3 Road in Richmond.
Police were called after a witness reported seeing a man being forced into a pickup truck by two males shortly after leaving the Bamboo Grove Restaurant. Officers responded to the area and reviewed available surveillance footage.
Investigators have now obtained updated images of the suspect vehicle. The vehicle is believed to be a grey 2013 Dodge Ram 1500. A Ford F‑150 was reported previously in error. The truck is described as having a sunroof, mud flaps, and a triple ball hitch.
At the time of the offence, the vehicle is believed to have been displaying B.C. licence plate RF541V. The vehicle was reported stolen out of Maple Ridge on September 27, 2025.
The photos released are actual depictions of the stolen Dodge Ram 1500 believed to be involved in the incident.
As part of the investigation, a Volkswagen Jetta also involved in the incident, observed in the surveillance video, has been seized by police.
The Richmond RCMP Serious Crime Unit has assumed conduct of the investigation. Given the number of onlookers and vehicles present in the parking lot at the time of the incident, investigators are hoping to speak with additional witnesses who were in the area and may have information.
Police are also seeking Tesla owners who were parked nearby and may have captured footage through Sentry Mode, as well as anyone with dashcam or security video from the area around the time of the incident.
Anyone with information, or anyone who sees the suspect vehicle, is asked to call 911 immediately. Members of the public are advised not to approach the vehicle for safety reasons. Quote file number 2026-12635.
