On Aug. 2, just after 1 p.m. PT, police were called to SNS Currency Exchange in Surrey’s Whalley neighbourhood, where they say a man was lit on fire. In a statement, Surrey RCMP Cpl. Sarbjit Sangha said the suspect in the case is Kalid Yimer, 33, and they believe he is in B.C.’s Lower Mainland or travelling to Alberta. “Given the severity of the incident … [the suspect] is believed to be violent and dangerous,” Sangha said. “Police are releasing an enhanced photo to locate him and warn the public.” Sangha described Yimer as a man about five feet six inches tall, with dark hair and brown eyes.
Police are asking anyone who sees him to call 911, and say he is wanted in connection to an attempted murder investigation.
