Surrey police seek tips on deported extortion suspect Prabhjot Singh, release photo, and link him to ongoing extortion cases in 2026.
Surrey Police Ask Public for Help After Deportation Case
Surrey police are reaching out to the public. At the same time, they are asking for help in a serious extortion investigation. Moreover, they want more details about a man who was deported earlier this year. In addition, they hope new tips will help move the case forward.
Photo Released to Spark New Leads
Police have now released a photo of 20-year-old Prabhjot Singh. Furthermore, they believe this image may help connect the dots. As a result, they are encouraging witnesses, victims, or associates to step forward.
Meanwhile, Singh was arrested in early 2026. After that, the Canada Border Services Agency investigated the case. Soon after, he was deported from Canada.
In addition, investigators are now focusing on what happened while he was in the country. Also, they want to know who he may have worked with.
Police Focus Shifts to Associates and Activity
Surrey Police Service is now digging deeper. For example, they are asking about Singh’s contacts in Canada. Likewise, they want to understand his movements and activities.
Moreover, police stress that every detail matters. Therefore, even small tips could help build a stronger case. Meanwhile, officers continue to review evidence tied to the broader extortion crisis.
City Pushes Strong Response to Extortion Wave
Surrey has already taken action against rising extortion cases. Back in September 2025, Mayor Brenda Locke announced a dedicated tip line. In addition, the city created a $250,000 reward fund. This fund supports tips that lead to convictions.
Furthermore, police say they will release suspect photos on a case-by-case basis. As a result, they aim to support active investigations while protecting the public.
Extortion Cases Continue to Rise in 2026
So far in 2026, the situation remains serious. Police report 91 extortion-related crimes. These incidents have impacted 49 victims.
In addition, the cases include 16 shootings. Also, two arsons have been linked to the ongoing crisis. Therefore, investigators continue to treat the situation as a top priority.
