Surrey: Surrey RCMP is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect in a break and enter to a residence in the City Centre area.
On March 27th, at 8:30am Surrey RCMP received a call from a female victim in her 80’s that an unknown male had entered her home in the 9300 block of 133A Street. When she tried to call 911 the male locked the doors and took away her phone. The male then searched her home, stole several items of value, and left. The victim was not physically injured.
Surrey RCMP’s Robbery Unit is leading this investigation. A neighborhood canvass was conducted to identify potential witnesses from the area. Members from the Integrated Forensics Investigation Service (IFIS) were called to the scene to gather further evidence for forensic analysis. In addition, an RCMP sketch artist was engaged and was able to produce a likeness of the suspect .
The suspect is described as a South Asian or Filipino male in his mid 30’s, 5’10” tall, with a muscular build . The suspect was wearing an overly large black baseball cap with a brim that covered his ears, hair, and head. The suspect has “squinty” eyes and a very round head with a short square chin.
“We’re hopeful that this composite sketch will lead to the eventual identification of the suspect,” says Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “Remember to keep your ground floor windows and doors locked, even when you are home, to reduce your risk of a break and enter.”
