“The area surrounding the scene will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Vanessa Munn said in a release.

“Officers are interviewing witnesses and canvassing the area for further information and evidence.”

Submitted video from the scene shows investigators fixated on a yellow bin that was lying on its side in the alleyway.

A home was also taped off and appears to be part of the investigation.
