UPDATE: Surrey RCMP say a 19-year-old suspect was arrested on Jan. 30 and released on a promise to appear for a future court date.
The man was released on conditions which he must abide by until that court date, including not to contact anyone under the age of 16, and to stay away from locations where persons under the age of 16 are present or can reasonably be expected to be present.
RCMP say charges have not yet been laid in court as the investigation is ongoing.
Surrey RCMP have released a photo of a suspect in an alleged indecent exposure near a high school earlier this month.
The incident was reported to have happened on Jan. 10, in the 6200-block of 144 Street near Sullivan Heights Secondary School.
According to police, a 10-year-old girl was walking behind the school around 3 p.m., when a man grabbed her hoodie from behind, threw her to the ground and then exposed his genitals.
