A NAZI gang who stockpiled weapons including a 3D-printed assault rifle have been found guilty of plotting a terror attack on a mosque

Counter-terror officers believe Brogan Stewart, 25, Marco Pitzettu, 25, and Christopher Ringrose, 34, were on the verge of carrying out a deadly racist attack in Leeds when police pounced.

The trio were part of an online group who idolised the Nazis.

Their stash of 200 weapons including crossbows, axes, machetes, swords, knuckle dusters and hunting knives were found during raids on properties in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire.

An almost completed FGC-9 Mk II printed assault rifle was also uncovered.

The men were sourcing the components to complete the weapon.
