Surrey Police appeal for info on deported foreign national linked to extortion-related activities

SURREY – Police in Surrey say they’re releasing a photo of a foreign national who was deported from Canada in hopes of gathering information about his associates and alleged extortion-related activities while he was in Canada.

According to a statement from the Surrey Police Service, 20-year-old Prabhjot Singh is suspected of being involved in the ongoing extortion crisis in the Lower Mainland. In early 2026, police say Singh was suspected by SPS as being involved in extortion-related criminal activity. Police subsequently arrested Singh and provided information about him to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). As a result of their immigration investigation, Singh was removed from Canada.

SPS says 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 of Prabhjot Singh prompts additional witnesses, victims, or associates to come forward with relevant information regarding the activities of Prabhjot Singh,” SPS said.

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. SPS is asking anyone who has information on Prabhjot Singh to contact 604-599-0502, the Surrey Extortion Tip Line at 236-485-5149, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca if you wish to remain anonymous.

In September 2025, the Surrey Extortion Reward Fund of $250,000.00 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.
