Police in Surrey have released images of suspects in the vandalism of a Hindu temple last Saturday.
The incident happened the same morning as a similar act of vandalism at a Sikh temple in Vancouver, and police in both cities are working together on the possibility they are connected.
The Surrey Police Service said the vandals targeted the Shree Lakshmi Narayan Mandir on 140th Street near 84rd Avenue around 3 a.m. Saturday morning, where they spray-painted multiple building pillars and a mandir sign.
The suspects were wearing dark clothing and face coverings, and travelling in a white pickup truck, possibly a Dodge.
On Thursday, police in Vancouver also released photos that showed mask-clad individuals and a white pickup truck outside the Khalsa Diwan Society Gurdwara on Ross Street.
