Abbotsford Police issue public safety warning about 3 men

VANCOUVER – The Abbotsford Police Department have issued a warning to the public about three men they say “pose a risk of significant harm to the safety of the community.”

Police say compelling circumstances exist to warn the public about the men and anyone who may associate with them. The three men are involved in an ongoing conflict and a criminal lifestyle that includes violence, drugs and weapons.

“We believe it is in the public’s best interest that the identities of these men are known so people associating with or in close physical proximity to them understand their safety could be in danger,” said Sgt. Casey Vinet. “Efforts to curtail growing tensions between these individuals are being made but we are very concerned that violence could occur in public settings.”

The three men are:

1. Sandeep Singh Sidhu – South Asian, 27 years old, 188 cm (6ft 2 ins) 91 kg (201 lbs.)
2. Jimi Singh Sandhu – South Asian, 25 years old, 180 cm (5ft 11 ins) 86 kg (190 lbs.)
3. Gavinder Singh Grewal – South Asian, 27 years old, 175 cm (5ft 9 ins) 95 kg (210 lbs.)

All are known to police and have criminal pasts. They are also prohibited from having any weapons in their possession. Sidhu has three convictions for aggravated assault and is currently charged with three counts of aggravated assault. Sandhu has been convicted of three counts of aggravated assault and is currently charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Grewal has a criminal conviction for extortion and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

Anyone with information about the activities of these three men is encouraged to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
