Neo-Nazi found guilty of planning mass gun attack after being caught in MI5 sting

A neo-Nazi who drew up a “kill list” of customers and colleagues at the Tesco where he worked has been found guilty of planning a mass gun attack.

Alfie Coleman was just 19 when he was caught in an MI5 sting trying to buy a Makarov semi-automatic pistol, five magazines and 200 rounds of ammunition, with £3,500 saved from his part-time supermarket job.

The Old Bailey heard he branded some of his former fellow staff and shoppers “race traitors” for having partners who were not white, in a list of people who had “upset him”, alongside their number plates.

One entry named a checkout-worker, whose husband was mixed race, along with the make and colour of her car, and a description of her as having “short blonde hair with bits of pink in it”.

Prosecutors said he believed in an extreme right-wing ideology which included idolising Adolf Hitler and the likes of Thomas Mair, who murdered the MP Jo Cox in a gun and knife attack in 2016.
