RCMP Arrests Two Individuals for Terrorism Offences



Ottawa, ON, January 9, 2015 - Today, following a national security criminal investigation, the RCMP Ottawa Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) arrested and charged two individuals from Ottawa with a number of terrorism offences under the Criminal Code of Canada.

Ashton Carleton Larmond (D.O.B. 1990-11-21) has been charged with Facilitating terrorist activity (Sec. 83.19), Participation in the activity of a terrorist group (Sec. 83.18 ), and for Instructing to carry out activity for a terrorist group (Sec. 83.21 (1)).

Carlos Larmond (D.O.B. 1990-11-21) has been charged with Participation in the activity of a terrorist group (Sec. 83.18 ) and for Attempting to leave Canada to participate in terrorist activity abroad (Sec. 83.181).

Carlos Larmond was arrested at the Montreal Pierre-Elliott Trudeau International Airport as he was intending to travel overseas for terrorist purposes. Ashton Carleton Larmond was arrested in Ottawa.

As Canada’s national police force, the RCMP leads the Canadian response to terrorist criminal activity through national security criminal investigations both at home and abroad. The RCMP wants to acknowledge the valuable contribution of its INSET partners, including the Ottawa Police Service, and the Ontario Provincial Police, who played a significant role in this case to keep the Canadian public and Canada’s allies safe from terrorism.

Assistant Commissioner James Malizia, Officer in charge of the RCMP’s Federal Policing Operations stated: “Today’s arrests speak to our ability to tackle a threat that is multifaceted and constantly evolving. Through collaborative efforts with our partners, we were able to prevent these individuals from leaving Canada to engage in terrorist activity overseas.”

We encourage citizens to remain vigilant and to report any information on terrorism or related suspicious activities to the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805 or by contacting the police in their community.

As this matter is now before the courts, we will not be providing more details at this time.

In a series of jailhouse interviews with Ottawa’s terror twins, Ashton and Carlos Larmond, the would-be jihadis have detailed their life story — from a bleak childhood scarred by rape, poverty and domestic abuse, to their drug dealing days in Vanier, to the time, in their early 20s, when they found Islam.

Ashton, the “director” of an Ottawa terror cluster, was sentenced to 17 years for instructing a person to carry out a terrorist activity. His twin brother, Carlos, who converted to Islamic extremism at his brother’s urging, was sentenced to seven years for attempting to leave Canada to carry out a terrorist activity.

Their life story, in their own words, has gone untold until now.

In their interviews obtained by APTN and the Citizen, the Larmonds both say they’ve blocked out a lot of memories from their childhood. Both recall mostly awful scenes, beyond the two years when they lived at their grandfather’s home in Texas. In Ottawa, where they spent most of their childhood, it was ugly all around. The gutter, as they call it.

“No kid should have to go through what I went through,” Carlos says in the taped interviews.

He says it was tough growing up with a father who spent more time in prison than at home. Ashton remembers the day the police came storming in, yelling “Where’s your dad?” His father had just robbed a bank and a young Ashton was hiding under his bed.

The twins blame much of their chaotic childhood on the absence of their father, a career criminal who has 74 convictions, including counts of assault and bank robbery. Tony Larmond was a lousy criminal who got caught a lot and spent so much time behind bars, Ashton told the interviewer he saw his father the most during family visits to the prison.

He says he didn’t forgive his father until he found Islam. For years, Carlos says, his emotions were flat, and that he held much rage against those who had abused him and his mom. These days, he tells the interviewer, “The hatred in my heart is gone. I have peace and tranquility in my heart.”

He says he let it go because God will deal with these people. “Good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people.”

Carlos says it was his brother who pushed him into Islam. “‘It changed my life, it’ll change yours,'” he recalls his brother telling him.

APTN previously reported in February the twins claim to be Algonquin, but it wasn’t immediately known what First Nation they were from.

APTN has now learned they have cards saying they belong to the Bonnechere Algonquin First Nation.
