SURREY RCMP are looking for the public’s help to identify a man who is a suspect in an indecent act that occurred in South Surrey.

On May 19, shortly after 9 p.m., a lone male approached a group of young people while he was engaging in an indecent act, near the beach access at 13th Avenue and 131st Street. The man ran away when confronted by the group.

RCMP said that after other investigative avenues have been unsuccessful in identifying the suspect, a photo is being released to the public in an effort to advance the investigation.  No additional similar occurrences have been reported.

The suspect is described as a South Asian or Middle Eastern man, with short dark hair, dark facial hair, in his 20’s, medium build, and wearing glasses (see photo).

Investigators are asking anyone who can help identify the suspect, or has any information about the incident, to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, if they wish to make an anonymous report, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.
