By Julia BrysonAn anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist has been sentenced to 12 months in prison for plotting to destroy 5G masts.
He was jailed for 12 years, with an additional year on licence, after being found guilty of offences linked to his "extreme right wing, antisemitic and racist views".Image source,The court heard both defendants were strongly opposed to the roll-out of the 5G network - but Grayson had discussed "getting rid" of the mobile phone masts with expanding foam and angle grinders.
The court heard Reynolds discussed armed uprisings and advocated violence towards people he called "traitors". During their trial, the court heard how police had found a crossbow and a number of crossbow bolts at Grayson's home, while at Reynolds' they discovered two replica assault rifles.Sentencing Grayson, Judge Kearl said: "You chose to take the law into your own hands and you discussed the methods of damaging the masts in an internet chat group."
