Surrey Police issue appeal after 48-year-old landlord charged with break and enter

SURREY – Police in Surrey are appealing to any past tenants of a Surrey landlord as it relates to any past interactions they may have had with a 48-year-old Surrey landlord, after the landlord was charged with break and enter earlier this month.

Surrey Police Service spokesperson S/Sgt. Lindsey Houghton says the agency’s Special Investigation Section (SIS) launched an investigation in January 2026 into allegations that a Surrey landlord had entered his tenant’s suite without permission and had inappropriately touched the tenant’s clothing.

On October 1, 2026, the BC Prosecution Service approved a charge of one count of break and enter against 48-year-old Balwinder Singh Bhandher, resulting in a warrant being issued for his arrest.

Police say Balwinder Bhandher was arrested on his warrant on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, by SPS officers. He was released from custody on several conditions.
