A Scots “neo-nazi” who plotted a series of terrorist events after gathering an “armoury” in his home is set to be sentenced today.Former journalist, Alan Edward was found guilty of intending to commit an act of terrorism which would include an incident of “serious violence”.A jury heard in September that the 54-year-old had discussed an attack on a Scottish LBGT group.

Armed cops found a barrage of weapons at his home in September 2022.Officers from Police Scotland discovered weapons and equipment including a samurai sword, 14 knives – some with Nazi and SS insignia – machetes, a tomahawk, knuckledusters, a catapult, an extendible baton and a stun-gun.Edwards was also in possession of an air pistol modelled on the “James Bond” Walther PPK within his two-storey home in Redding, Falkirk.

Edwards was also keeping an SS-style skull mask, goggles and a respirator fighting gloves with specially-hardened knuckles, pellets, ball bearings, and hunting tips for crossbow arrows.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
