Terrorism charges for teens held in Nazi probe

- BY SAM GELDER

TWO teenagers have been charged with terrorism offences following their arrests on Thursday by police investigat­ing a neo-Nazi group that posted an online threat against the Duke of Sussex.

An 18-year-old man from Portsmouth faces five charges of encouragin­g terrorism and three of disseminat­ing terrorist publicatio­ns.

A 17-year-old boy from London also faces five charges of encouragin­g terrorism.

They have both been bailed to appear at Westminste­r Magistrate­s Court on Wednesday.

Counter Terrorism Policing North East said the pre-planned operation was part of an ongoing investigat­ion into extreme rightwing activity.

It is understood a neo-Nazi group named the Sonnenkrie­g Division is included in the investigat­ion.

One propaganda image shows a picture of Harry with a pistol pointed at his head and the words “see ya later race traitor”, according to various reports.

Other images show praise for mass murderer Anders Breivik.
