Two reputed white supremacists have been arrested in Virginia for allegedly plotting to attack black churches and Jewish synagogues, according to federal authorities. 
 
 Robert Curtis Doyle and Ronald Beasley Chaney III were arrested Sunday after a months-long investigation that sent FBI agents in to disrupt a plan allegedly already underway, according to charging documents filed in federal court. 
 
 In late September, the FBI received a tip that Doyle and Chaney would be meeting the next week to discuss a plot to shoot or bomb worshippers inside black churches and Jewish synagogues, and to attack a specific gun store owner in Oklahoma, according to the FBI. 
 
 After putting the pair under surveillance, an undercover FBI agent posing as an illegal arms dealer met with Chaney and Doyle and let them handle certain weapons, the FBI said. Doyle then allegedly placed an order for an automatic weapon, explosives and a pistol with a silencer, according to the FBI. 
 
 Though at one point Chaney raised suspicions with Doyle over whether it was all a “Fed operation ... [to] infiltrate ... our [expletive] people,” Chaney ultimately moved forward with the weapons purchase, according to the FBI. 
 
 On Sunday, Chaney tried to buy the firearms and explosives from three undercover FBI agents and he was immediately arrested, the FBI said. Doyle was arrested later Sunday at his home in Chesterfield, Virginia. 
 
 The two men have each been charged with one count of conspiracy to possess firearms after having been convicted of a felony. A preliminary and detention hearing is set for Thursday in Richmond. 
 
 Doyle was previously convicted of possessing and distributing drugs, embezzlement, and grand larceny. Chaney has also been convicted of multiple felonies, according to the FBI.

 CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- Federal court documents provide some disturbing details about an apparent plot by white supremacists in Chesterfield to incite a race war. They include plans to bomb and shoot up black churches and Jewish synagogues, as well as a plot to kill a local jewelry dealer, and rob an armored car, among other crimes. The crimes were to provide the proceeds to purchase land, weapons and training for the so-called coming race war. But they were apparently foiled by the FBI. 
 
 Neighbors said they saw federal agents swarming around a Chesterfield home around 11 a.m. Sunday. 
 
 “I walked to the end of the cul-de-sac, and saw 15 police cars, marked and unmarked, and K-9’s searching,” said a woman who did not want to be identified. “There were people wearing camo and carrying big weapons." 
 
 The documents reveal that, Robert Doyle and Ronald Beasley Chaney and others ascribing to a white supremacist version of the Asatru faith met inside a home on Candlelamp Lane in Chesterfield. The FBI received information that during a meeting there in late September members discussed acting out their extremist beliefs by shooting or bombing occupants of black churches and Jewish synagogues and plotting to kill an Oklahoma gun store owner. 
 
 It also alleged that Doyle met up with Charles Halderman of Henrico to plan the murder of a local jeweler, rob an armored truck and harm a Virginia gun store owner. 
 
 All three men are charged with one felony, for now. 
 
 "With all the allegations in there, this one charge is just the tip of the iceberg,” said CBS 6 legal expert Todd Stone. “I expect other serious charges." 
 
 "It's always in the back of your mind,” said Rodney Clarke, the chairman of the trustees of a Baptist church near where investigators said the extremists’ meeting took place. “This is right around the corner." 
 
 Clarke said even before hearing the details in these documents, their church had already started securing the sanctuary. "It's a shame you can't worship your god in peace,” he said. “You try to have your focus on him, but you have to worry about what's coming through the door." 
 
 The documents allege that Doyle had met with an undercover agent numerous times and checked out automatic weapons, explosives and silencers he wanted to purchase. 
 
 The purchases were supposed to happen last Sunday. Anyone with additional information can email a news tip here.
– The FBI says two white supremacists in Virginia tried to buy weapons from an undercover agent so they could carry out mass shootings and bombings at black churches and synagogues. Authorities say Robert C. Doyle, 34, and Ronald B. Chaney III, 33—whom Buzzfeed identifies as belonging to a white supremacist version of the pagan religion Asatru—were first put under surveillance in September when Doyle hosted a meeting to discuss the scheme as well as killing an Ok gun store owner in Oklahoma. Doyle then ordered two firearms, a silencer, and explosives from an undercover agent on Oct. 25, the FBI says. A criminal complaint notes Chaney questioned whether the deal was a "Fed operation ... (to) infiltrate ... our (expletive) people," but he went through with a plan to pay for the weapons on Sunday, reports ABC News. He and Doyle were then arrested. Doyle reportedly told agents that the weapons were for Chaney, though agents say 30 rounds of ammunition for an ordered .45 caliber pistol were found in Doyle's vehicle, reports CNN. Another man who allegedly attended the September meeting, Charles Halderman, has been charged with conspiracy to commit a robbery after speaking with Doyle about a plan to murder a local jeweler and rob an armored truck, the FBI says, per WTVR. The complaint notes the men planned to use the stolen funds to "purchase land, stockpile weapons, and train for the coming race war." Doyle and Chaney are each charged with conspiracy to possess firearms as felons, though a legal expert says "this one charge is just the tip of the iceberg." Chaney's mother and father are also charged with firearms and drug charges, reports the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
