Richardson was arrested in December 2024 following an intelligence-led operation. During his arrest, handwritten notes detailing an attack plan and instructions for making mustard gas were found. Weapons, including a crossbow and a combat-style knife, were also discovered at his home. Richardson, a Muslim convert, had become drawn to extremist ideology, sharing terrorist content online and expressing a desire to commit an attack, with potential targets including a shopping centre.
