Essex Neo-Nazi Guilty of Terror Charge After MI5 Gun Sting
The 21-year-old compiled target lists and sought weapons in an MI5 sting, prosecutors said, as police warned of rising online radicalisation among children.
- On Thursday, 21-year-old neo-Nazi Alfie Coleman was found guilty of preparing terrorist acts at the Old Bailey following a retrial for planning a mass gun attack.
- MI5 conducted a 'highly sophisticated operation' that culminated on September 29, 2023, in a Morrisons car park in Stratford, London, where Coleman arranged to buy a Makarov pistol and around 200 rounds of ammunition from undercover agents.
- Prosecutors revealed Coleman idolized extremist mass killers Dylann Roof and Thomas Mair while penning a diary 'manifesto' identifying targets including the Lord Mayor of London and a mosque.
- Detective Chief Superintendent Helen Flanagan of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command called Coleman's case an 'acute' example of online radicalization, urging parents to initiate 'difficult conversations' about accessible 'horrific' material.
- Coleman remains in custody facing sentencing on July 8, while police report one in five counter-terrorism cases now involve children drawn into extremism through online radicalization.
