File: 26-54029 (SP)

One man has been arrested by Surrey Police Service (SPS) following an alleged mischief to a crosswalk that occurred during a protest in Surrey’s City Central neighbourhood on May 30, 2026. 

On May 30, 2026, at approximately 3:48 pm, SPS Frontline officers responded to reports of a mischief to a pride crosswalk at the intersection of Old Yale Road and University Drive. Officers arrived on scene and located a rainbow-coloured pride crosswalk that had been spray painted. Three men were identified as suspects.

SPS Frontline members took lead of the investigation and, with the assistance of SPS’s Major Crime Section and SPS’s Hate Crime Coordinator, the investigation has resulted in one man being arrested and released on an undertaking with numerous conditions. That person has not yet been formally charged with a Criminal Code offence. 

The investigation is ongoing and it is anticipated a report will be forwarded to Crown Counsel for charge assessment in the coming days. 

Anyone with information about the incident that has yet to speak with police should contact SPS’s non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 26-54029 (SP) or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
