A security guard is in serious condition after suffering a serious head injury while chasing a thief from the North Surrey Dollar Store.

Police are still trying to piece together how an security guard was seriously injured after a theft at a North Surrey dollar store.

On Saturday, at 6 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a call at the Dollar Giant at 105A Avenue and King George Boulevard.

A customer inside the store alerted a security guard of a woman stealing food.

The alleged thief fled the store, followed by the 61-year-old security guard. The guard was later found at the bottom of stairway with serious head injuries.

Police believe they know the identity of the thief, but are looking for witnesses to the pursuit that took place after the theft.

One witness was found, but a passing car obscured her view at the critical point when the security guard tumbled down the stairs.

Police are looking for more witnesses, including the woman who alerted the security guard to the theft.
