A neo-Nazi paedophile from Leeds who was jailed 17 years ago after being caught with a stash of nail bombs is facing more jail time after admitting having a gunpowder manual. White-supremacist Martyn Gilleard, 48, from Armley, was jailed in 2008 for 12 years for terrorism offences and having indecent images. He was released in 2023. On Friday 20 June, he appeared at the Old Bailey by video link from Leeds Prison and pleaded guilty to a single count of collection of material likely to be of use to a terrorist. The charge said that on or before Wednesday 28 May, Gilleard collected information on the manufacture of explosive black powder, known as gunpowder. The former forklift truck driver was previously found guilty of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts and collecting information for terrorist purposes having admitted having indecent images. Police found four nail bombs, bladed weapons, bullets, documents about terrorism and extreme right-wing literature when they searched his flat in October 2007. Officers uncovered significant volumes of extreme right-wing literature and propaganda from far-right group Combat 18, as well as ammunition, weapons and homemade bombs. A further search by detectives and forensic teams from the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) in Leeds uncovered more explosive material, camouflage clothing, balaclavas, a bomb-making manual and outdoor survival guides. Humberside Police had also discovered around 39,000 indecent images of children, including film and photographs. A search of his workplace found a high-visibility jacket which had been modified with a hand-drawn swastika and Combat 18 lettering, and colleagues told police that he had expressed racist views.
