A 15-YEAR-OLD boy from Princes Risborough has been charged with a number of terrorism offences.

The boy was charged yesterday (May 24) with one offence under Section 4 of the Explosive Substances Act 1883 for possessing an explosive substance as to give rise to reasonable suspicion that he did not possess them for a lawful object.

He has also been charged with two counts of inviting support for a proscribed organisation, contrary to Section 12(1) of the Terrorism Act 2000.

The ideology is linked to Extreme Right Wing.

The boy, who cannot be named or identified for legal reasons, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday, June 26.

The boy was arrested by officers from Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) with assistance from Thames Valley Police in December 2022.
