On October 13, 2023, the RCMP Federal Policing Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) in Alberta, with support from the Calgary Police Service, arrested a 15-year-old Calgary youth for terrorism-related offences. The arrest follows that of a 20-year-old individual and a youth, both from Calgary, who were previously arrested as part of the ongoing investigation.
The youth was subsequently released on a Recognizance with a number of conditions pending the outcome of a Terrorism Peace Bond application initiated under s. 810.011 of the Criminal Code. The individual is scheduled to appear in Calgary Provincial Court on November 6, 2023.
The Youth Criminal Justice Act prevents any further release of information regarding this individual. As the criminal investigation is ongoing and before the courts, the RCMP will not be making any further comments at this time.
The RCMP is committed to working in partnership with both domestic and foreign agencies to keep Canadians safe and secure and protect Canadian interests at home and abroad.
The RCMP encourages citizens to remain vigilant and report any information on terrorism or related suspicious activity to the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805 or by email at RCMP.NSIN-RISN.GRC@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or to their local police. If there is an immediate threat to your safety, please call 911.
