A convicted Nottingham terrorist has returned to jail after admitting to breaching a notification order and being in possession of offensive weapons. Roger Smith, formerly of Summerwood Lane, Clifton, pleaded guilty to three counts of failing to comply with notification requirements, contrary to the Counter Terrorism Act 2008.
These breaches of a 10-year Part 4 Terrorist Notification Order were failing to notify police of a phone number, email address and passport – contrary to the Act. The 53-year-old was released from prison in December 2020 following conviction in January 2017 for explosives and terrorism offences.
However, following Smith’s arrest on September 10, 2021, officers recovered a number of flick and zombie-style knives and a can of pepper spray from his home. He pleaded guilty to six counts of being in possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.
