The trio had more than 200 weapons including crossbows, swords, machetes, axes, hunting knives and an almost-complete 3D-printed assault rifle, which prosecutors say could “have been used to devastating consequences”.

Three neo-Nazis who plotted terrorist attacks on mosques and synagogues have been jailed for a total of 29 years.

Brogan Stewart was sentenced to 11 years in prison, Christopher Ringrose for 10 years and Marco Pitzettu for eight years by a judge at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday.

An almost completed FGC-9 Mk II printed assault rifle found in Ringrose’s loft was missing the barrel and firing pin, but the men were sourcing the components to complete the weapon, which prosecutors said could then “have been used to devastating consequences”.

he court heard the trio had a shared interest in bushcraft and YouTube videos of “preppers” – who prepare for the possibility of a world-changing disaster by stockpiling supplies, food and ammunition.

But prosecutors said they were preparing for a race war and had used the online communities to recruit an inner circle, which moved on to neo-Nazi chat groups before setting up their own private group, as they prepared to take action.

It was infiltrated by an undercover officer on 5 January last year.

Stewart messaged the officer on the encrypted Telegram app, telling him he was disillusioned with other far-right groups that just “sit around and talk,” adding: “I want to get my own group together because action speaks louder than words.”
