A day after a student reported a comment made during lunchtime at a school in upstate New York, three men and a teen were arrested and charged with plotting to attack a Muslim community about 200 miles away.

Brian Colaneri, 20; Vincent Vetromile, 19; Andrew Crysel, 18; and an unidentified 16-year-old male were arrested on Friday in Greece, New York. All are accused of making homemade bombs and plotting to attack the Muslim community of Islamberg in Delaware County, New York.

The 16-year-old male is being classified by police as an "adolescent offender" and his name and photograph have not been released.
All four are from the Rochester, New York, area and have each been charged with three felony counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one felony count of conspiracy, according to Greece Police Sgt. Jared Rene. It was not immediately clear whether the accused had retained attorneys.

After conducting further interviews and executing several search warrants, police found 23 firearms and three "improvised explosive devices" associated with the four males, as well as the alleged plot to attack Islamberg. The devices are being analyzed by the FBI at a lab in Quantico, Virginia, Phelan said.

While police would not give details about what the alleged plot against Islamberg entailed, Phelan said it appeared the plot had been in the works for about a month. Three of the four males knew each other through their participation in Boy Scouts, Phelan said.
