According to a news brief from Chilliwack RCMP Corporal Carmen Kiener, spokesperson for the local detachment, Mounties in Chilliwack were dispatched on Sunday, May 5 at approximately 10 p.m. after receiving a report that a Griffin Security guard had been assaulted by a lone male.

Police say Griffin Security guards had asked the male to remove himself and his belongings from a private property in the downtown Chilliwack area. Cpl. Kiener said the male became aggressive and assaulted one security guard.

The RCMP file number for the assault incident is 2024-17865.
