Sardar Shahid, of High Street, was detained from an address in Lye by officers from Counter Terrorism Policing in February. The 20-year-old has since admitted five charges of possessing a document containing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. He denied four counts of disseminating terrorism materials and is set to go on trial at Birmingham Crown Court on March 15, 2027. Shahid appeared before Westminster Magistrates on Thursday, February 5 and again on July 3 for a plea and trial preparation hearing, with the case transferred to Birmingham Crown Court. West Midlands Police said he was charged in connection with terrorism offences following a pre-planned operation in Lye on February 3.
