SURREY — Transit police had been chasing an enforcement dragon at the Surrey Central Station over the past three months, leading to dozens of arrests and a garden variety of drugs being seized.
On November 22, 2025, the RCMP, the Surrey Police Service and CFSEU-BC tackled crime and safety concerns at the station and adjacent businesses, including the Central City complex, as part of a Metro Vancouver Transit Police-led project.
Efforts yielded 61 arrests ranging from outstanding warrants and weapons possession to drug trafficking and traffic violations. The following items were seized:
18 weapons, including 12 knives and five bear spray cans
258 grams of fentanyl, 38 grams of methamphetamine, 42 grams of cocaine, 298 pills of hydromorphone and 178 oxycontin pills
$9,400 CAD, believed to be the proceeds of crime
