Nazi memorabilia and weaponry was found at a house in Llansilin, being renovated by a serving British soldier accused of being a member of a banned group.

Birmingham Crown Court heard Dyfed-Powys counter terrorism officers found gel-fuel blocks, two lock knives, National Action flyers, Nazi flags, an SS ceremonial dagger, "Swastika bunting" and Adolf Hitler stickers at the property Lance Corporal Mikko Vehvilainen was working on, during a search on September 5, 2017.

Found at another of Vehvilainen's properties was an illustrated colour picture of white nationalist Anders Breivik machine-gunning a crowd of people, including members of ethnic minorities, and a host of Nazi memorabilia, while in another room, in a locked cabinet, he also had a licensed pump action shotgun with 13 shells, and an air rifle.

The court was told he kept a scrapbook with newspapers cuttings, flyers and far-right leaflets that referred to "race traitors" and "wiggas", while in another bedroom was found an illustrated colour picture of white nationalist Anders Breivik machine-gunning a crowd of people, including members of ethnic minorities, and a host of Nazi memorabilia.

Army trainer Vehvilainen, 33, and fellow Royal Anglian Regiment soldier Private Mark Barrett, 25, of Dhekalia station, Cyprus, but formerly of Kendrew Barracks, Cottesmore, Rutland, are both charged with being members of banned group National Action.

A 23-year-old male, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also stands accused of the same charge.

Vehvilainen is also accused of two counts of stirring up racial hatred and possessing a document containing terrorist information, known as the Anders Breivik manifesto.

Jurors have already been told that Vehvilainen had admitted possession of a CS gas canister which was also found at Llansilin.

The other male, who cannot be named, is also charged with three counts of having a document likely to be of use to terrorists, and another of distributing a publication contrary to terror laws.

The trial, expected to last another three weeks, continues.
