Surrey RCMP is seeking information and looking to identify a man involved in a suspicious occurrence at Crescent Park Wednesday.
On May 31, 2023, at 1:19 p.m. Surrey RCMP received the report of a suspicious occurrence in Crescent Park. The complainant saw a man running in her direction carrying a rope, was startled, ran away and contacted police. Police attended the park, spoke with the complainant and conducted patrols through the park.
We are aware of social media posts circulating that describe the incident as an attack
and/ or attempted abduction
. We want to clarify, that the posts were not made by the individual directly involved, and that there was no physical or verbal interaction between parties. The investigation remains ongoing.
The man is described as Caucasian, tall with a slim build, wearing a white/ light colored shirt with darker sleeves, camo shorts, and brown ankle boots, carrying a rope,
says Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer, Corporal Vanessa Munn. Investigators are working to identify the man involved in order to determine the complete circumstances, and asking the man to contact police so we can speak with him.
We encourage anyone who encounters something suspicious or feels unsafe to do what this complainant did, follow their instincts and call police.
