A Macclesfield man found in possession of ‘terrorist material’ during a police raid has been jailed.
Jonathan Wilson, of Abbey Road, was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday, September 16.
It comes after the 49-year-old admitted to nine counts of possessing/collecting of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
Detective Chief Superintendent Jon Chadwick, head of counter terrorism policing North West, said: “Jonathan Wilson collected a cache of literature which would be useful to somebody preparing to commit an act of terrorism.
