Toronto-area teen arrested over alleged plan to travel to join ISIS

Toronto Area Teen

A Toronto-area teen has been arrested on suspicion he was planning to travel abroad to join ISIS, CBC News has learned.

Court records show the RCMP applied last month for a terrorism peace bond in the case, which would restrict the movements of the 18-year-old from Newmarket, Ont. The accused can’t be named due to his age.

“Although the defendant is an adult now, much of the allegations occurred while he was a young person,” said Nathalie Houle, a spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
