Surrey RCMP are searching for witnesses to an incident they believe could have been an abduction.

It happened at Surrey Central City Mall just before 6pm Saturday night, when a 1990's Mercedes Benz four door sedan stopped in front of Shoppers Drug Mart.

Police say three Caucasian men got out of the car, and two forced the third into the trunk.

Those men got back into the car and took off towards Old Yale Road with the man still in the trunk.

The vehicle is described as light colored, with a sunroof, no tinted windows, and a piece of paper that may have been a temporary operating permit in the right rear window.

Officers say they're assuming it's a real incident, and are asking any witnesses to call police immediately.
