  • Help identify robbery suspect: Surrey RCMP

Surrey RCMP is requesting assistance from the public with the identification of a suspect in a robbery that occurred in Whalley. Shortly before 2:00 p.m. on November 12, 2020, Surrey RCMP received a report of a robbery at a bank in the 10300-block of City Parkway.

An unidentified man attended the bank and threatened to use a weapon if a sum of money was not provided. The man then took the money and left the area on a white BMX bicycle.

After other investigative avenues have been unsuccessful in identifying the suspect, photos are being released to the public in an effort to advance the investigation.

The suspect was described as Caucasian, in his 40’s, wearing a dark coloured helmet, white face mask, black pants, black gloves, and Nike shoes. Most notably, the man was wearing a black jacket with a grey, white and yellow design on the front.
