SURREY RCMP are currently investigating an incident that occurred between several parties, in the 13500-block of Hilton Road in the Whalley area of Surrey.

On Tuesday at approximately 5 p.m., Surrey RCMP received numerous calls of a confrontation between the occupants of several vehicles, culminating in several collisions and the deployment of bear spray.

Officers located four vehicles that had collided with one another, and several individuals who were suffering the effects of bear spray. No persons were seriously injured in the altercation.

Initial investigation indicates that the altercation stems from an allegation of theft on the part of the occupants of a red sedan. The occupants of three other vehicles confronted the other parties in an attempt to recover property that had been allegedly stolen.

During that confrontation several of the vehicles collided, and there is an allegation that some parties produced either bats or golf clubs and damaged one of the vehicles, while other parties deployed bear spray.

All participants in the altercation have been identified, and charges are being considered against several persons. No persons are currently in custody.

The investigation is still in the early stages, and investigators are collecting statements and canvassing for video. Anyone with more information, including dash cam footage in the area of Hilton Road between 1700 hours and 1730 hours, is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 and quote file 2022-48755.
