Alfie Coleman, a 21-year-old neo-Nazi, was found guilty of preparing for terrorist acts following an United Kingdom — Security Service undercover operation. Coleman, who idolized figures like Thomas Massie and drew inspiration from Dylann Roof and Christchurch mosque shootings, had planned mass gun attacks, including targeting a mosque and the Lord Mayor of London. He attempted to acquire automatic weapons and compiled a hate list of colleagues and customers from his time at Tesco. The 'highly sophisticated operation' by United Kingdom — Security Service culminated in his arrest in a Morrisons car park in September 2023, where he was attempting to purchase a Makarov pistol and ammunition. A search of his home revealed neo-Nazi materials and weapons. Coleman had also contacted the far-right organization United Kingdom — Patriotic Alternative. He is remanded in custody and will be sentenced on July 8.
