Surrey RCMP are investigating after a video showing a fight involving around a dozen youth at a strip mall was posted to social media.
The brawl is believed to have occurred on the weekend at a strip mall parking lot in the Strawberry Hill neighbourhood.
Const. Richard Wright with Surrey RCMP said 10 to 15 young men appear to be fighting in the video.
He said the video was brought to their attention through social media and that investigators are looking into it and increasing enforcement.
"Our marked patrol vehicles are doing patrols through that area," said Wright.
"We want to stop this behaviour before it becomes an issue for the wider public at large. Before people become fearful of the area."
