Mounties say Imran Yusuf, 27, is charged with uttering threats, criminal harassment, mischief and other related offences following an investigation that began last summer.

RCMP said in August 2025, the tires of a vehicle parked at a home in Okotoks’ Crystal Shores neighbourhood were slashed.

In the months that followed, four more vehicles, owned by the same family, were similarly damaged.

As police investigated, they learned the family had been harassed online through false accounts of various social media outlets since Feb. 16, 2025.

In December 2025, Calgary police investigated a similar incident where a victim received death threats through the same social media accounts.

Okotoks RCMP and Calgary Police Service then began a joint operation, where they identified the suspect through executing court orders on the social media accounts.

Yusuf is expected in court on Jan. 20.
