A man who made and shared a video about how to make an explosive substance has been jailed. Elliot Brown, 25, was found guilty at Bristol Crown Court today (Monday 16 January) of two-terrorism related offences following an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing South West (CTPSW).
Brown recorded a video in which he used a smart device to recite how to make a specific explosive substance. In March 2020, he then proceeded to share what he recorded in a Telegram chat group where members expressed extreme right-wing views and ideology.
Brown’s offending came to light during a separate terrorism-related investigation, for which one person was convicted and jailed in June 2021, as they had the footage saved on their phone. He was arrested by CTPSW officers in February 2021.
