Canada deports Punjabi youth accused of extortion, releases photo seeking public help
The Surrey Police Service (SPS) had identified Lovebir in early 2026 as a suspect in extortion-linked crimes
Canada has deported a Punjabi youth, Lovebir Singh, 22 — accused of involvement in extortion-related criminal activity — and has released his photograph while appealing to the public to provide information on his associates and activities during his stay in the country.
The Surrey Police Service (SPS) identified Lovebir in early 2026 as a suspect in extortion-linked crimes. Singh, a foreign national, had been in Canada since the fall of 2023. After SPS shared its findings with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), an immigration investigation was launched, following which Lovebir was deported.
The SPS said it released Lovebir 's photo after determining that public disclosure was necessary to support ongoing investigations. The force hopes the move will prompt witnesses, victims or associates to come forward with information about Lovebir 's activities and the criminal networks behind violent extortions in the region.
Anyone with information can contact SPS at 604-599-0502, the Surrey Extortion Tip Line at 236-485-5149, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca for those wishing to remain anonymous.
A reward of up to $250,000 is also on offer through the Surrey Extortion Reward Fund, established in September 2025, for information leading to charges and convictions in extortion cases.
