WINNIPEG – A Winnipeg man already facing mischief charges for allegedly spray-painting swastikas and antisemitic graffiti on fences and other structures is now facing terrorism charges.
RCMP say Nevin Thunder Young is charged with facilitating and participating in terrorist activity and committing an offence for a terrorist group.
The 19-year-old is in custody at the Winnipeg Remand Centre.
Mounties say they began investigating last month after the case was referred to them by the Winnipeg Police Service.
Prior to that, Young was charged in January with 26 counts of mischief under $5,000.
Those charges were laid after hate symbols were found spray-painted in the west end Charleswood neighbourhood over a three-month period late last year.
Avrom Charach, who helped erase some of the graffiti, said he removed antisemitic slogans along with tags promoting hate groups.
“I’ve removed graffiti from all over Winnipeg,” said the 59-year-old in an interview.
“I would love nothing more than if people didn’t put up hate.”
