SURREY RCMP say investigators have identified three suspects involved in Monday’s assault with a weapon that injured a youth at a high school in Newton. The assault occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. outside of Panorama Ridge Secondary School. 

All of the suspects are youth and were not known to police. Two suspects are currently under arrest and in police custody. A third suspect has not yet been arrested and police are currently working to locate them.
