QUEBEC CITY, QC– The RCMP has announced charges against four individuals, including active members of the Canadian Armed Forces, in connection with an alleged plot to “forcibly take possession” of land in the Quebec City area.
Mounties allege that three male suspects were planning to establish an anti-government militia and undertook “concrete actions” to facilitate terrorist activity. They claim these suspects, two aged 24 and one 25, participated in military-style training using various firearms and high-capacity magazines.
These individuals face one charge under Section 83.19 of the Criminal Code.
Police also confirmed that a fourth suspect, 33-year-old Matthew Forbes, has been charged with possessing firearms, prohibited devices, explosives, and other related offenses.
Authorities stated that searches conducted in Quebec City in January 2024 led to the seizure of 16 explosive devices, approximately 11,000 rounds of ammunition, and other weapons.
The RCMP is categorizing this case as “ideologically motivated violent extremism.”
