RCMP says a Calgary youth has been arrested for terrorism-related crimes

A Calgary youth has been arrested and charged with terrorism-related crimes.

On Wednesday, the RCMP said the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team and the Calgary Police Department arrested the youngster on June 15.

The youngster, who cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, appeared in court in connection with Section 810.011 of the Penal Code – fear of terrorism crime, according to the RCMP.

“The youngster has been released pending a future trial and is subject to a number of strict conditions,” the press release said.

RCMP confirmed to CBC News that the arrest is linked to another terrorism-related arrest last week but wouldn’t say how they are paired.

The Mounties also confirmed that the boy was from the Calgary area.

RCMP said last week that a Calgary man, 20, faces four terrorism-related charges following a national investigation.
