Surrey Police 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.

Lovebir Singh, a 22-year-old foreign national male who had been in Canada since the fall of 2023, was identified by SPS in early 2026 and was suspected as being involved in extortion-related criminal activity. SPS notified and shared information on the individual with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). As a result of their immigration investigation, Lovebir Singh was subsequently removed from Canada. 

SPS is releasing this photo of Lovebir Singh after determining that disclosure is necessary to assist with ongoing police investigations. SPS hopes that the public release of this image of Lovebir Singh prompts additional witnesses, victims, or associates to come forward with relevant information regarding the activities of Lovebir Singh. 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 Lovebir Singh to contact SPS’s non-emergency number at 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. 

Note - 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 under sections 33(2)(d) and 34 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act whereby 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’s assistance for witnesses and victims who may have information.
