Mounties in Surrey are looking for the public’s help to identify two suspects who they believe stole a donation box from a Mandir in that city.
The Surrey RCMP says on March 12, it received reports of a break-and-enter at the Hindu temple on 123 Street near 80 Avenue.
“Police were able to obtain CCTV footage of two suspects who are believed to be involved in the break and enter to the building. A donation box was targeted and the suspects stole an unknown amount of money,” Corp. Sarbjit K. Sangha shared in an update Wednesday.
Mounties say both of the suspects were wearing dark clothing at the time of the incident, and had their faces “disguised with masks.”
“Photos are not of great quality; however, police are hoping someone in the community may recognize these individuals,” Sangha added.
The first suspect is described as being between 20 and 30 years old and was wearing an army green coloured toque, with a white shirt under his black jacket. The second suspect is also described as being between 20 and 30 years old and was wearing skinny cargo pants with a black jacket that had a small white maple lead on the hood.
Surrey police are asking anyone with information to call the RCMP at 604-599-0502 and quote file: 2024-34876.
