Surrey RCMP seek help to identify South Asian or black suspect in carjacking

ON November 2, at approximately 3 p.m., Surrey RCMP received a report of a carjacking in a parking lot of a busy shopping mall located in the 10100-block of King George Boulevard.

General Duty police officers quickly attended the scene and located and spoke with the victim and witnesses. Investigators have determined that the suspect approached and threatened the victim who was sitting in her vehicle and then physically forced her out the vehicle.

The suspect is described as a South Asian or black male, curly dark hair, dark beard, approximately 5’9” tall, average build, in his late 20’s or early 30’s. The suspect was wearing a black coat and a large grey back pack.

The victim’s vehicle has since been located by police.
