LETHBRIDGE, AB – Four men charged with conspiracy to commit murder after arrests at last month’s border blockade in Coutts made brief court appearances in Lethbridge Tuesday.

Christopher Lysak, Chris Carbert, Anthony Olienick, and Jerry Morin are set to return to Lethbridge provincial court on March 28, 2022.

Christopher Lysak, 48, is also charged with uttering threats, possession of a weapon, and mischief to property over $5,000. He has been denied bail.

Bail hearings for Lysak’s three co-accused have not been held yet.

13 people were charged after RCMP found a cache of long guns, handguns, body armour, large amounts of ammunition and high-capacity magazines in three trailers.
