Police issue groper warning

Surrey RCMP are warning the public after a woman was groped Sunday.

The victim was walking near 144th Street and 76th Avenue about 5:15 a.m. when she was grabbed by the arm and groped by a male suspect who was passing in the opposite direction.

The woman fought back and the suspect fled. 

The suspect is described as a South Asian male, about 30 years old, five feet seven inches tall, with a medium build, and short facial hair. He is possibly associated to a brown or grey sedan. 

Police are appealing to the public for any information that may lead to the suspect's identity.

They advise women to take precautions.

Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.
