Darpan News Desk Surrey RCMP, 12 Oct, 2021 02:00 PM

Surrey RCMP is seeking witnesses to an attempted abduction of a woman in the area of Edinburgh Drive and 132 Street, in Surrey.

On October 10, 2021 just before midnight, Surrey RCMP received a report that a woman was grabbed from behind by an unknown male who attempted to drag her away as she walked on a path in the green-space connecting Edinburgh Drive and 132 Street. The woman screamed out for help and local residents came to her aid chasing after the suspect as he ran away. Police attended and spoke to some of the witnesses who helped the female. The woman was physically uninjured but was emotionally upset and disturbed by the incident.

Police are trying to locate any potential witnesses, in particular a man and woman who assisted the victim in getting home. Investigators believe they may have information that will help advance this investigation.

The suspect in this incident is described as a fair-skinned man, 5’ 10”, with a slim build, wearing all black clothing.

In light of this incident, Surrey RCMP are reminding community members to maintain a healthy vigilance; and to report all suspicious activity to police.

If you have information which can assist in this investigation, please call the Surrey RCMP non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and ask for an on-duty GIU investigator. If you wish to make an anonymous report please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca
