Teen admits far-right terrorism offences

A 17-year-old boy has pled guilty to a series of rightwing terrorism offences.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted 11 charges under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act relating to the collection of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

The boy was charged following an investigation by Gloucestershire police and Counter Terrorism Policing South West.

He appeared at Bristol Youth Court last Monday, where he pled guilty to all counts, and is due to be sentenced at the same court this coming Tuesday.

The teenager, from Gloucestershire, was released on conditional bail.
