Overview
- The three men, aged 25 to 34, formed an online extremist group named Einsatz 14 in January 2024 to prepare for a so-called 'race war.'
- They amassed over 200 weapons, including machetes, swords, crossbows, riot gear, and a nearly completed 3D-printed semi-automatic firearm.
- Undercover officers infiltrated the group, leading to their arrests in February 2024 when an attack was deemed imminent.
- The group targeted mosques, synagogues, and Islamic education centres, with specific plans discussed for a site in Leeds.
- All three were convicted of preparing acts of terrorism, with Ringrose also found guilty of manufacturing a prohibited weapon; sentencing is set for July 17, 2025.
