Summary
13.5 years in prison was handed to Alfie Coleman, 22, after MI5 uncovered he was preparing terrorist acts and fantasizing about a race war.
September 2023 became the turning point when agents lured the Essex supermarket worker to an east London car park and arrested him as he collected a Makarov pistol and 200 rounds of ammunition.
Court heard Coleman, from Great Notley in Essex, was a “militant accelerationist” who had been radicalized online from the age of 14.
The sentence closes a case built around an MI5 sting that intercepted an armed far-right extremist before any planned attack was carried out.
