A teenager from Wales has appeared in court in London to admit a string of terrorism offences. The 17-year-old boy. who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested after a series of racially offensive and homophobic graffiti was daubed across various sites across south Wales.
Among them was racist Nazi graffiti painted on a mural in Port Talbot that celebrated the region's Caribbean community. Swastikas, the words "Nazi zone" and a racial slur were painted on the mural, which was initially a part of the Street Art Trail and had been been created by the ARTWalk community group to celebrate the town's Caribbean community.
It also included the numbers 1488, a code used by neo-Nazis and white supremacists to broadcast hate speech in a covert manner and to show their alliance with others in their movement. South Wales Police said an investigation then followed into "online activities."
