LANGLEY – A 46-year-old Surrey man has been charged with multiple offences for allegedly refusing to exit his vehicle during a traffic stop in Langley in late November 2025.

According to a statement from Sgt. Sarbjit K. Sangha, officers with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C.’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Unit (UGET) were conducting proactive enforcement in Langley on Nov. 25, 2025 when they witnessed a vehicle travelling at a speed well in excess of the posted speed limit.

Sgt. Sangha says officers conducted a traffic stop and identified the driver. However, the driver allegedly refused to exit the vehicle and was informed that he was under arrest for obstruction of a peace officer. Authorities say the driver failed to remain at the scene. On December 19, 2025, a warrant was issued in relation to the incident.

Ron Aldred Madlangbayan, 46, of Surrey has been charged with the following offences:

• Resisting or wilfully obstructing a peace officer in the execution of their duty, contrary to section 129(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

• Escaping from lawful custody, contrary to section 145(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Sgt. Sangha says Madlangbayan was arrested later that day by UGET officers with the assistance of Langley RCMP on the outstanding warrant. He is expected to appear in court at a later date.

“Failing to stop for police puts officers, other motorists, and the public at significant risk,” said Sgt. Sangha, media relations officer for CFSEU-BC. “These situations can escalate quickly and have serious consequences for everyone involved.”
