P.E.I. man facing what police say are 1st terrorism charges laid in Atlantic Canada
CBC
A North Rustico, P.E.I., man already under a terrorism peace bond is now facing what police say are the first terrorism charges ever laid in Atlantic Canada.
Daniel Desmond Crowder is facing two charges in connection with 3D-printed firearms and issuing threats, RCMP said in a news release Wednesday.
The charges include:
Crowder had been under a terrorism peace bond since Aug. 18. The bond, a tool rarely used in Atlantic Canada, is one of the measures police say they used to keep the community safe during the investigation.
Police say Crowder is in custody and there is no evidence of any ongoing risk to the public.
“This case should not be seen as reflective of broader trends in our community,” the RCMP release reads.
“P.E.I. remains one of the safest places in Canada, and this case demonstrates police readiness to respond to even the most serious threats.”
RCMP encourage the public to report any information about terrorism or suspicious activity to the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805, online at the RCMP portal or to local police. Anyone facing an immediate threat should call 911.
