A NEO-Nazi gang built a semi-automatic gun to launch what was intended to be Britain's first terror attack using a 3D-printed weapon.

Counter-terror chiefs smashed the group after believing Brogan Stewart, 25, Marco Pizettu, 25, and Christopher Ringrose, 34, were on the verge of carrying out a deadly race attack using the FGC-9 firearm.

The trio, who were convicted yesterday of planning an atrocity, never met but shared their “inevitable race war” ideology online.

Infiltrated

Sheffield Crown Court heard they amassed more than 200 weapons, including swords, crossbows, machetes, hunting knives, axes and a baseball bat.

Fearing an attack against a mosque in Leeds, police who had infiltrated their group swooped last year. At gang members’ homes officers found plans to attack mosques, Islamic centres and synagogues, as well as the chilling arsenal, including the 3D gun, designed by a German man.

The trial judge, Mrs Justice Cutts, told Ringrose, of Cannock, Staffordshire, Pitzettu, of Mickleover, Derbyshire, and gang leader Stewart, from Wakefield, West Yorkshire: “You must all expect substantial custodial sentences.” They will be sentenced on July

'KIDS

A POLICE anti-terror chief has warned parents to keep an eye on how their children use 3D printers. Det Chief Supt James Dunkerley, of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, also said mums and dads were not “asking enough questions” about how youngsters were influenced online.
