Extreme right-wing group sentenced to 29 years for planning a terrorist attack in West Yorkshire. The case is a reminder that violent ideology can take many forms – and thrives in digital spaces. The three men - Brogan Stewart, 25, from West Yorkshire, Christopher Ringrose, 35, from Staffordshire, and Marco Pitzettu, 26, from Derbyshire - chatted online in secret about their shared extreme far-right views and beliefs. They were arrested in 2024 where they were found to have a stash of more than 200 weapons. Investigators also reviewed 5.2 million digital files – that’s enough to fill around 124 iPhones – showing evidence of extreme content and making plans to attack religious sites. The case, uncovered through the hard work of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, reinforces the importance of vigilance in our communities.

About us
Counter Terrorism Policing is a collaboration of UK police forces working with the UK intelligence community to help protect the public and our national security by preventing, deterring, and investigating terrorist activity. We do this by working in local to global partnerships, from policing teams on the beat and on the streets, supported by a national network of specialist officers and staff across the UK, to our investigators and expert advisors in every corner of the world. Sadly, terrorist attacks can happen at any time or place without warning, and as the threat continues to evolve, then so must we. The challenges we face are not only in person, they are also online and in the shadows. We are dedicated to making the best of our resources, and often unique skills, working with technical experts, digital innovators, and world renowned investigators. Your skills could help protect the UK. With the ongoing terrorist threat, there has never been a more important time to be working alongside some of the best and brightest to help keep the public safe. These ordinary people do extraordinary things in an effort to thwart terrorist planning; to safeguard those who are at risk of radicalisation; to protect our critical national infrastructure, institutions and crowded places, and to pursue and bring terrorists to justice. Most of what we achieve may never see the light of day, but behind the scenes we have the very best working around the clock in an effort to keep us all safe. Every day offers a variety of exciting challenges and exceptional opportunities played out on a regional, national, and international stage.

Mounted police have been part of UK policing since 1760 🐎 Today, they remain a vital resource from high-visibility patrols and community engagement, to supporting ceremonial occasions and key counter terrorism roles. With skilled officers and around 110 horses across seven sites, mounted policing continues to help keep the public safe.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re recognising the importance of supporting the mental health of those who protect others 💙 Peer supporters, mental health first aiders, friends and colleagues across the service all play a vital role in helping one another talk openly and access the right support when it’s needed. Working in policing can be challenging - which is why checking in, listening, having honest conversations and taking time for yourself outside of work really matter.

An update on the terrorist attack that took place in Manchester last week, from Greater Manchester Police Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts who holds operational responsibility for Counter Terrorism Policing North West. ⬇️ Our thoughts remain with those who lost their lives in the attack, their loved ones and those affected in the community at this difficult time. This remains a live counter terrorism investigation. Although we have made significant progress since the attack took place, we are still in the relatively early stages and there is much work to be done. We will continue to update the public via our social media channels as and when we can. If you have information that could help our investigation, please contact police via the Major Incident Public Portal which is available online. https://lnkd.in/eqMTbZTG
