Surrey News: Seats on family’s stolen custom e-bike found, RCMP say

The seats from a stolen electric bike that was customized for a Surrey, B.C., child with complex health needs have been recovered – but the bike itself has yet to be found.

Surrey RCMP said a good Samaritan noticed the seats Friday morning on a trail near 95A Avenue and 159A Street after hearing about the theft on the news.

“We are extremely grateful to this good Samaritan who found the two seats and returned them to the police,” Corporal Sarbjit K. Sangha said in a press release.

“We ask the community to continue to look for this particular bike.”

The e-bike was locked outside a school near 162nd Street and 88th Avenue when it was stolen Tuesday while the owner was picking up his daughter.

Authorities previously shared surveillance video showing a suspect approaching the bike, inspecting the area with his hands in his pockets, then pulling bolt cutters from his backpack and cutting the lock.

The bike is described as a sage green Eventin Abound electric cargo bike, a custom bike for a girl with complex needs.

Surrey RCMP described the bike as “essential” for the child.

Anyone with information about the flight is asked to contact the detachment at 604-599-0502.
