Surrey RCMP are looking for Noah Didhra after arrest warrant were issued for him in the 2017 shooting case which injured an innocent bystander.
Didhra, 21, is described as South Asian, five-foot-10 and 230 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Anyone who sees him or knows of his whereabouts is asked to contact Surrey RCMP.
Corporal Elenore Sturko said these latest developments stem from the investigation into a 2017 shooting in Newton which injured an innocent 62-year-old woman who’d been visiting from Ontario.
The Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit immediately took conduct of the investigation and entered into a conspiracy to commit murder investigation that involved a number of police investigative techniques.
A subsequent search warrant executed by Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) and Vernon and Kelowna RCMP resulted in the seizure of cell phones, about $177,000, “significant” quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, ketamine and six firearms.
On January 30, charges were laid against Abd’l Malik Loubissi-Morris, Tien Roy Mai Dang, and Noah Didhra. Each of these men are facing 15 separate charges, including conspiracy to commit an indictable offence; possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking; possession of the proceeds of crime; and possession of a firearm.
Abd’l Malik Loubissi-Morris has been in custody since his arrest on December 11, 2019, and Tien Mai Dang was arrested on January 30 without incident.
“Projects of this size and complexity take a significant amount of time, resources and specialized skills,” said Superintendent Elija Rain.
“A major contributor to the advancement of this investigation was the partnerships we have with CFSEU and the RCMP in Kelowna and Vernon. We extend our gratitude to every police officer and employee whose hard work helped to bring this file to a successful conclusion.”
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Noah Didhra is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers, if you wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca quoting file number 2017-93863.
