Surrey Police Service is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a man accused of assaulting a teenage girl in the Whalley neighbourhood earlier this month.

Police say the incident happened at about 4:35 pm on February 6, when the youth was walking eastbound along 100 Avenue near 123A Street. Investigators report that a man approached her from behind and briefly wrapped his arms around her upper body. The girl was able to free herself, and the suspect ran southbound on 123A Street. She was not physically injured.

The suspect is described as an adult man, possibly White or Middle Eastern, standing about five feet 10 inches tall. He was last seen wearing black sweatpants, black and white shoes, a black hooded sweatshirt, and a black and grey plaid jacket. Police have released a photo in hopes that someone may recognize him.

Surrey Police are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or who can identify the suspect to come forward. Community safety remains a priority for officers, particularly in areas frequently used by students and families during after-school hours.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Surrey Police Service non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and reference file number 25-12536 (SP).

New trial ordered in Alberta homicide case after appeal court overturns murder conviction

Alberta’s Court of Appeal has ordered a new trial for a man previously convicted in the 2020 death of his common-law partner, finding legal errors in how intent was assessed at trial. In a decision released Friday, the court overturned Ryan Applegarth’s 2023 conviction for second-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Chantelle Firingstoney. According to the ruling, the trial judge did not make a required finding that Applegarth intended to kill, a key element for a murder conviction. Court records show Firingstoney died in November 2020 at her home in Ponoka, about 95 kilometres south

He argued that committees should reflect the governing party’s mandate and avoid what he described as “partisan games” that delay work. The proposal comes as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals seek to consolidate control of the parliament
