Surrey RCMP is advising the public of a series of break and enters into single-family residences that have occurred in the areas of Panorama Ridge, South Surrey and Crescent Beach.

The Surrey RCMP Property Crime Target Team has conduct of this investigation and officers believe these events to be linked to residential break and enters in other jurisdictions in the Lower Mainland.

The suspects allegedly work in a team of three; targeting large-scale homes between 5:00 pm and 9:00 pm when the homes are unoccupied. The method of entry has primarily been to break the glass on the patio door. Once inside, the thieves mainly steal high-value items including jewellery such as rings and watches, as well as cash, and purses.

Investigators believe the thieves are surveilling properties before they strike; therefore, we encourage residents to keep their homes secure, look out for each other as neighbours and call police to report any suspicious activity or suspicious individuals, says Sergeant Tammy Lobb, Media Relations Officer with Surrey RCMP.

The suspects are described as follows:

Suspect 1: Heavy built male, 6’3 tall, wearing a hoody, dark colored sweat pants and a balaclava.

Suspect 2: Muscular built male, 6’0 tall, wearing a hoody, dark colored sweat pants and a balaclava.

Suspect 3: Slender built male, 5’8 tall, wearing a hoody, dark colored sweat pants and a balaclava.

All three suspects tighten their hood strings around their balaclavas to conceal their facial features.

Surrey RCMP held a block watch meeting this week to educate residents on home security and when to call police and another meeting will be planned soon, said Sgt. Lobb. Residents may see an increased police presence in these neighbourhoods as Surrey RCMP conducts additional patrols.
