Four Alberta men accused of plotting to kill Mounties during the Coutts border blockade had court hearings postponed to next month on Friday.
A Lethbridge judge adjourned the matter to March 15 after learning from the lawyer representing two of the defendants that more time was needed to prepare the case.
The prosecution agreed, saying it also needed time to review the evidence.
Police arrested them on Monday, accusing the four of planning to take action against Mounties if officers moved in.
“The group was said to have a willingness to use force against the police if any attempts were made to disrupt the blockade,” RCMP said in a release on Monday.
They did not appear in court, either in-person or via video link.
Three of the accused were known to police before the illegal blockade.
