Two people, including the founder of a neo-Nazi group, have been arrested after allegedly plotting to shut down power to the Baltimore area.

Brandon Russell, 27, and Sarah Clendaniel, 34, were charged with conspiracy to damage an energy facility.

The crime carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Authorities say the couple planned to shoot five electricity substations in the state of Maryland.

The pair met while both were in prison, and began discussing the alleged plot last year. Ms Clendaniel described their plan as "legendary" and said the attack "would completely destroy the whole city".

"This planned attack threatened lives and would have left thousands of Marylanders in the cold and dark," US Attorney Erek Barron said in a statement.
