Surrey Police Service is seeking former tenants of Balwinder Singh Bhandher, 48, after he was charged with one count of break-and-enter following an investigation that began in January.
The initial complaint came from a tenant who alleged Bhandher entered her suite without permission and inappropriately touched her clothing. A warrant was issued for his arrest on October 1, and Bhandher was arrested on October 14. He has been released with several conditions.
Bhandher had a basement suite for rent in a residence in the 13800 block of 66 Avenue in Surrey. Police say he may have been a landlord at a previous residence as well. The investigation is ongoing, and more criminal charges could be brought against Bhandher.
