| Racial slurs preceded attack, robbery in Aldergrove
Racist slurs were shouted as a group of teenagers attacked and robbed a group of people playing tennis Friday night in Aldergrove.
Six Abbotsford residents, all of South Asian, were playing tennis near 272nd Street and 32nd Avenue at about 7:45 p.m., said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.
Four Caucasian suspects, three young men and a woman, approached and began shouting racially based expletives.
The suspects then pulled boards off a nearby fence, and one found a metal bar. They forced their way into the courts, despite the players attempts to bar the gate, and then herded the players into one corner.
One of the suspects threw a board and hit one player in the head.
The suspects then stole the players personal belongings and fled the scene.
Several residents and people passing by reported the incident to police, and gave information on which way the suspects were headed. Police found two of the men and a woman a short time later in a residential neighbourhood; a third man was found on Fraser Highway.
The group includes an 18-year-old woman, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, all from Langley, and a 19-year-old Surrey man.
All four have either been charged or are facing charges of robbery, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, and uttering threats. An additional count of uttering threats to a peace officer was laid against the 15-year-old boy, and the 19-year-old has been charged with breach.
More charges may be laid, Marks said.
Thanks to the help of the public, most of the stolen items have been recovered.
Anyone who has not spoken to police and has information should call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

15 and 16 year olds... I don't even know what to say, kids keep thinking they can get away with nething lately.
as for the 18 and 19 year olds...
This just seems so random that it can't be random, (lol that sentence was random) but yeah, why do people randomly jump out of their car or whatever, and just start robbing other ppl. Something tells me this was sorta planned out

Now my question is, did the witnesses hear the racial slurs or did they just see an attack happening and were there really racial slurs made in this attack or are the victims making them up?

There were several witnesses who heard the racial slurs and witnessed the kids being robbed. Ctv news interviewed a few people and all the witnesses agree that it was racially fueled. Quote:

I guess the tennis players are not as hot-headed as some of us. They think about the potential outcomes if they attack back.

More info... Quote:
An evening game of tennis for six Abbotsford men turned ugly after an unprovoked, racially tinged attack in Aldergrove.
Four teens were arrested, thanks to residents who phoned police while the attack was in progress.
“The fact that there is a nuance of hate . . . and hate was a core element is very disturbing,” Insp. Amrik Virk of Langley RCMP said Monday.
“This should not happen in our society.”
The Indo-Canadian men, who are in their 20s, were playing tennis at Jackman Park on 32nd Avenue near 272nd Street in Aldergrove just after 7:30 p.m. Friday, when three young men and a woman approached them, shouting racial slurs and telling them to go back to where they came from.
“It was unprovoked,” said Vic Spooner, whose backyard overlooks the tennis court.
“They were just playing tennis, when these four clowns just came down to the park, one of them a little slip of a girl, and they began yelling.”
Darlene Griscowski said her husband Brian was in the backyard watering their lawn when one of the attackers began kicking down their fence right in front of him.
The teens then headed back to the tennis court, wielding the fenceboards and a metal bar as weapons.
“It was quite terrifying,” said Griscowski. “It was really, really ugly.”
The tennis players barricaded themselves inside the court, but the attackers forced their way in and cornered them.
One of the suspects then hurled the fenceboard at the group, hitting one of the men in the head.
Witnesses said the Abbotsford men were well built, and commended them for not fighting back.
“They were big guys, they outnumbered them, but they didn’t retaliate at all,” said Griscowski.
The suspects then stole the men’s belongings — bags and cellphones — before fleeing up the lane into a residential neighbourhood.
Langley RCMP received a number of 911 calls from concerned residents, who pointed them in the suspects’ direction of travel.
Two male teens and one young woman were arrested nearby, to the applause of residents who had gathered to watch the commotion.
Another male was arrested about an hour later on Fraser Highway.
Three of those arrested — two boys aged 15 and 16, and an 18-year-old woman — are from Langley. The fourth suspect is a 19-year-old Surrey man.
They face charges of assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, robbery and uttering threats.
Langley Township Mayor Rick Green was shocked by the attack.
“I was devastated,” said Green.
“I’ve lived here for 12 years and there’s no history of this whatsoever that I know of.”
