Surrey RCMP: Help identify suspect in racist graffiti (with video)

The suspect.

SURREY RCMP on Friday released a video of a suspect involved in anti-Asian graffiti in South Surrey and requested the public’s assistance with identifying him.

On Sunday, November 13,  Surrey RCMP received a report of graffiti on a residential fence in a footpath at 142 Street and 18A Avenue. Through investigation, it was determined that the incident took place on November 12 at 7:55 p.m.

Frontline officers located similar graffiti on a nearby elementary school while investigating in the area. As well, in September there was a similar incident of graffiti where the same fence and school were vandalized.

Police are sharing a video of the suspect from the November 12 incident that was captured prior to the camera being spray-painted and are asking for the public’s help with identifying him. The male is wearing a baseball cap with what appears to be a logo on the left side of the brim.

In addition, police are looking for a witness who had a brief interaction with the suspect on November 12 at 7:55 p.m. The witness is described as a woman who was walking her dog on a leash in the opposite direction of the suspect.

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