Alice Cutter, 22, and fiancé Mark Jones, 24, of Mulhalls Mill, Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, had denied being members.

Garry Jack, 23, of Heathland Avenue, Birmingham, and Connor Scothern, 18, of Bagnall Avenue, Daybrook, Nottingham, also denied any wrongdoing.

The jury was discharged after deliberating for more than 37 hours.
