Overview
- Daniel Desmond Crowder of North Rustico is charged with two counts under Criminal Code section 83.19 alleging facilitation of terrorist activity.
- RCMP allege he possessed and manufactured firearm components and had weapons, 3D-printing equipment, tire-puncturing devices and AR-15 instructional guides intended to further a terrorist activity.
- Police say the case involves alleged 3D-printed firearms and threats, and they note the allegations have not been tested in court.
- A Feb. 24 search of a Queens County residence led investigators to seize a variety of 3D-printed gun parts tied to the case.
- Crowder has been under a terrorism peace bond since Aug. 18 with strict electronic-use bans and monitoring, and RCMP say he is in custody with no evidence of a broader network or active public risk.
