Woman charged in London explosives investigation released on bail

London Free Press, 2026

The London Free Press reported that Feiyang (Astrid) Ji, one of four people charged in the Chesham Place investigation, was released on bail on a $500 recognizance following her bail hearing.

According to the reporting, the charges in the case include unlawful possession of explosives, possessing a prohibited firearm, possessing a loaded firearm at the residence, and manufacturing a prohibited firearm.

The matter stems from a January 24, 2026 investigation by London Police that began with an overnight trespassing call at Western University and led officers to a home on Chesham Place in London's University Heights neighbourhood. Four people were charged; everyone charged is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
