LANGLEY — Mounties in Langley say two youth were reportedly stabbed early Tuesday morning near the 27400 block of 28 Avenue in Langley.

According to a statement from Corporal Craig van Herk, Langley RCMP media relations officer, police were dispatched just before 4 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3 for a 9-1-1 call involving a youth that had been stabbed. Responding officers arrived and located the youth with an injury consistent with being stabbed. Not long after, a second youth was located nearby, also with wounds consistent with being stabbed. Both were transported to hospital by BC Emergency Health Services (BC EHS) paramedics for non-life-threatening injuries.

Cpl. van Herk says the investigation is in its very early stages, with several unanswered questions remaining. Initial investigation has determined the two youth victims are known to each other and both incidents are believed to be connected. However, no suspect details or information are known.

Langley General Investigation Section (GIS) personnel have taken control of the investigation and have been present in the area Tuesday morning conducting neighbourhood canvassing and speaking with witnesses to obtain further information.
