The Surrey RCMP are looking for two men who allegedly stole a woman’s Jeep after flashing a handgun at her and her daughter.

It happened around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 15, in the 15500-block of 109A Street.

Police said a 46-year-old woman had just parked her white, 2016 Jeep Cherokee when two South Asian men approached and demanded her car keys.

The woman refused, at which point one of the men showed her a handgun, police said.

The woman then gave up the keys, and the suspect told the woman and her 16-year-old daughter to exit the Jeep, investigators said.
