Core Event
Police in Alberta arrested an 18-year-old from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and charged him with participation in a terrorist group, facilitation of terrorist activity, and commission of an offence for a terrorist organization. The arrest followed an investigation that began after authorities received a report of “concerning online activity” on a Telegram account. The teen was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Yorkton provincial court.
Background & Context
The 764 Network was listed as a terrorist entity in Canada in December 2025. Law enforcement describes the group as a transnational online predator network that targets children and teens through platforms such as Discord, Telegram, Roblox and Minecraft. The organization allegedly spreads propaganda, encourages violent acts, and coerces youth into activities involving child sexual abuse, self-harm and animal torture. Similar investigations have led to the arrest of a 17-year-old from Lethbridge, Alberta, and a 15-year-old from Alberta last year, as well as a 26-year-old man from Quebec City who was charged earlier this year for promoting the group’s ideology online.

Official Statements & Responses
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said the teen’s alleged activities fit a pattern of the 764 Network’s strategy to “desensitize and radicalize” youth toward violence. In a news release, the RCMP urged parents to monitor online activity and report suspicious behavior, emphasizing that the group exploits encrypted platforms that limit parental visibility. Police highlighted warning signs such as declining school performance, mood changes, and increased isolation.
