Three of the accused, Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24, of Quebec City, Simon Angers-Audet, 24, of Neuville and Raphaël Lagacé, 25, of Quebec City, allegedly “took concrete actions to facilitate terrorist activity,” the RCMP states.

The arrests follow an investigation led by the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET).

The RCMP notes that the accused are each facing one charge of facilitating terrorist activity.

“The three accused were planning to create [an] anti-government militia,” the force notes. “To achieve this, they took part in military-style training, as well as shooting, ambush, survival and navigation exercises. They also conducted a scouting operation. A variety of firearms, some prohibited, as well as high-capacity magazines and tactical equipment, were allegedly used in these activities.”

A fourth individual, Matthew Forbes, 33, of Pont-Rouge, Que. was also arrested and is facing charges of possession of firearms, prohibited devices and explosives, and possession of controlled items.
