A New Westminster woman has been charged in connection with targeted attacks on the homes, vehicles and property of 15 people connected to the Justice Institute of B.C. in 2011 and 2012.
Candy Elaine Rheaume is charged with using ICBC data for unauthorized purposes.
Between April 2011 and January 2012, there were 23 attacks — 19 arsons and four shootings — on the homes and vehicles of people with ties to the Justice Institute in nine different municipalities.
Police arrested two men in relation to the attacks in 2015.
Vincent Eric Gia-Hwa Cheung pleaded guilty to orchestrating the campaign in 2016 and was sentenced to 13.5 years in prison.
Rheaume, a 44-year-old former ICBC employee, is accused of querying the 15 victims' licence plates and accessing their personal information, according to a Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. press release, which said that information was ultimately used to facilitate the attacks.
The charges come more than five years after Rheaume was fired by ICBC.
She has no criminal record and is scheduled to be in court Feb. 15.
