The RCMP say they’ve laid terror charges against a person in the Greater Toronto Area after a lengthy national security investigation.

The person is also charged with counselling another person to commit a terrorist offence.

0:33 RCMP say alleged terror plot was in its ‘advanced stages’

The RCMP say the suspect cannot be identified because the alleged offences took place when they were a minor.

No other details about the case have been released, but the Mounties say there are no known risks to the public at this time.

The accused is expected to appear in court by video link next Tuesday.
