SURREY RCMP are seeking the public’s help to identify a suspect in a sexual assault that occurred in the Whalley area.

On Monday, January 23 at 10:53 a.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a female who had been groped by an unknown suspect near King George Boulevard and 102 Avenue. Police conducted extensive CCTV canvass in the area and obtained an image of the suspect (see photo).

Police say that while the image is not of great quality, they are releasing it in hopes that someone may recognize him based on the clothing and bag.

The suspect is described as a black man, 5’7”, in his mid to late 20s, with a slim build. He was wearing black hoodie, black jeans with rips in the front and black shoes with reflective laces. He was also carrying a turquoise bag.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
