SURREY\u00a0Police Service (SPS) is releasing a photo of a male who has been removed from Canada in the hopes of appealing to the public for information on his associates and activities while he was in Canada. This individual is suspected of being involved in the ongoing extortion crisis.<\/p>\n

In early 2026, Prabhjot Singh, a 20-year-old foreign national male, was suspected by SPS as being involved in extortion-related criminal activity. SPS subsequently arrested Prabhjot Singh and shared information about him with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Then, as a result of their immigration investigation, Prabjot Singh was removed from Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cSPS continues to work with our law enforcement partners with the shared objective of tackling the interjurisdictional and national components of extortion,\u201d said SPS Chief Constable Norm Lipinski on Monday. \u201cWe remain steadfastly committed to our policing colleagues and to our community in combatting the extortion crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

SPS said it is releasing this photo of Prabhjot Singh after determining that disclosure is necessary to assist with ongoing police investigations. SPS hopes that the public release of this image prompts additional witnesses, victims, or associates to come forward with relevant information regarding his activities. Any information provided by the public or associates can assist police in gathering information on the people and potential criminal networks involved in violent extortions.<\/p>\n

SPS is asking anyone who has information on Prabhjot Singh to contact SPS\u2019s non-emergency number at 604-599-0502,\u00a0the\u00a0Surrey Extortion Tip Line at 236-485-5149, or\u00a0Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or\u00a0www.solvecrime.ca<\/a>\u00a0if you wish to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n

In September 2025, the Surrey Extortion Reward Fund of $250,000 was established to offer individuals with key information the ability to collect a reward if charges and convictions of those responsible for these crimes are secured.<\/p>\n

Police note that photos will be considered for release on a case-by-case basis and based on the legal necessity to seek assistance from the public with police investigations. The disclosure of these photos in this case is a consistent use disclosure\u00a0under\u00a0sections 33(2)(d) and 34 of the\u00a0Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act\u00a0whereby police can disclose photos of persons if the disclosure is necessary to further a police investigation into a current crime, or series of crimes, and to seek the public\u2019s assistance for witnesses and victims who may have information.<\/p>\n
