Police are seeking the family of an elderly woman that was found wandering Surrey early Sunday morning.

Around 3:30 a.m., patrol officers found a South Asian woman, believed to be between 70 to 80 years of age, wandering near 156 Street and 102 Avenue.

“The woman was not dressed appropriately given the current weather conditions so the officer decided to conduct a check on her well-being,” read a news release from Surrey RCMP.

The woman could not speak English. A Punjabi-speaking officer also attended and found that the woman was unable to communicate, due to a possible medical condition.

Police then took the woman to Surrey Memorial where she is being cared for while police track down her family.

“We imagine there is a family out there that will wake up this morning and notice the grandmother is missing and become very concerned,” said Staff Sgt. Dale Carr. “We can say the woman is in apparent good health and does not seem to have been hurt.”

The woman is South Asian, about 5-foot-6 and weighing about 120 to 130 pounds. She has grey hair.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 and quote file #2018-9752.
