A man from West Yorkshire has appeared in court in connection with alleged leftwing terrorism offences.

Dominic Noble, 32, from Huddersfield, was charged with a total of 14 offences, including possessing documents likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, after he was arrested at his home last week.

Counter Terrorism Policing North East said Noble was arrested on 2 June as part of an “intelligence-led investigation into suspected leftwing terrorism”.

He was remanded in custody when he appeared at Leeds magistrates court for a 30-minute hearing on Monday. The case was transferred to the Old Bailey in London for a further hearing on 26 June.

“Noble was arrested from his home address on Tuesday 2 June by Counter Terrorism Policing North East as part of an intelligence-led investigation into suspected leftwing terrorism,” said a spokesman.

He said Noble had been charged with offences contrary to section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

Of the charges, 13 are for the possession of documents likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, and one is for viewing or accessing a document likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
