Surrey RCMP is releasing a video of a suspect involved in anti-Asian graffiti in South Surrey and requesting the public’s assistance with identifying him.
On November 13, 2022, Surrey RCMP received a report of graffiti on a residential fence in a footpath at 142 Street and 18A Avenue. Through investigation, it was determined that the incident took place on November 12, 2022 at 7:55 p.m.
Frontline officers located similar graffiti on a nearby elementary school while in the area investigating. As well in September 2022, there was a similar incident of graffiti where the same fence and school were vandalized.
Police are sharing a video of the suspect from the November 12 incident that was captured prior to the camera being spray-painted and are asking for the public’s help with identifying him. The male is wearing a baseball cap with what appears to be a logo on the left side of the brim.
