A man from North Rustico, Prince Edward Island, is facing what authorities describe as the first terrorism charges ever filed in Atlantic Canada. Daniel Desmond Crowder, who was already under a terrorism peace bond, has been charged with two offenses related to the production of 3D-printed firearms and making threats, according to a news release from the RCMP on Wednesday. The charges against Crowder include knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity by possessing weapons and manufacturing firearms and firearm components. He is also charged with possessing weapons, 3D-printing equipment, tire puncturing devices, and instructional materials on how to manufacture an AR-15. These items were allegedly intended to be used, either directly or indirectly, to facilitate or carry out a terrorist act. The charges stem from a search warrant executed at a residence in Queens County on February 24, 2025, where RCMP officers seized various 3D-printed gun parts. Crowder has been under a terrorism peace bond since August 18, a legal measure that is rarely utilized in Atlantic Canada. This bond includes strict conditions aimed at ensuring community safety during the ongoing investigation. Currently, Crowder is in custody, and authorities have stated there is no evidence suggesting any ongoing threat to the public. The RCMP emphasized that this case should not be viewed as indicative of broader trends within the community. They reiterated that "P.E.I. remains one of the safest places in Canada, and this case demonstrates police readiness to respond to even the most serious threats." The RCMP encourages the public to report any information related to terrorism or suspicious activities to the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805, through the RCMP portal, or to local police. In case of an immediate threat, individuals are advised to call 911. Crowder, a 51-year-old veteran, is subject to numerous restrictions under the terrorism peace bond. He is prohibited from using the internet or possessing a cellphone or other electronic communication devices. Additionally, he is required to wear a monitoring device at his home in North Rustico, where he will receive frequent visits from law enforcement officers.
