Northumberland teenager, who denies terrorism charges, amassed weapons and researched local synagogues, alleges prosecutor
A teenage boy alleged to hate Jews and black people gathered weapons and researched local synagogues as he prepared to commit acts of terrorism, a jury has heard.
The boy, now 16, from Northumberland, was proud of holding Nazi beliefs and became a member of a banned terror group which had the goal of creating a “white supremacist utopia”, prosecutors said.
The boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, has denied charges of preparing terrorist acts, being a member of a proscribed organisation, possession of terror documents and sharing terror publications.
Michelle Heeley KC, prosecuting at Leeds crown court, said on Tuesday that the defendant “wanted to be a terrorist”.
