A Salford man is due to appear in court charged with terror offences.

Adam Wyatt, 48, of Bridgewater Street, Salford, was arrested following an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing North West.

He has been charged with 11 counts of section 1 and 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006, relating to the encouragement of terrorism and dissemination of a terrorism publication, and five counts of section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000, possessing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

Mr Wyatt has been detained in custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, October 18.

Police say there is no intelligence of a specific threat to people in Salford or wider parts of Greater Manchester relating to the ongoing investigation.

A GMP spokesman added: “Whilst this activity was part of a planned operation, it is not linked to the investigation into the Manchester bomb attack.”
