Three more suspects were arrested Wednesday in association with the Boston Marathon terrorist bombing on April 15 that killed three and injured dozens. The Boston Police Department tweeted: "Three additional suspects taken into custody in Marathon bombing case. Details to follow", shortly before Noon eastern on Wednesday.
There is no word as to where the arrests took place or who was arrested. Shortly after the arrest of suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, in Watertown, Mass., police allegedly raided the residence of three people living in New Bedford, Mass. on April 20, according to IntelliHub. However there is no evidence to support whether these three alleged arrests are the ones mentioned by the Boston Police Department's twitter post. Police spokeswoman Cheryl Fiandaca confirmed the tweet's information to the Associated Press. However, Fiandaca asked that further information be sought from the FBI instead of the Boston Police.
Since the time of the Boston Marathon bombings, all major law enforcement agencies have depended on eachother to execute various facets of the investigation. The Massachusetts State Police, Boston Police, and the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority Police joined together to combat the bombing investigation head-on. Fiandaca's statement leans on FBI Special Agent Rick DesLauriers to be the source of information on the new developments. DesLauriers made repeated appearances to the media to answer questions during the initial investigation surrounding the people later found to allegedly be the Tsarnaevs.
The Boston Herald reported that the three are indeed connected to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Tsarnaev's older brother Tamerlan, the other original Boston terror bombing suspect, was killed in a shootout with police the night MIT Police Officer Sean Collier was killed, allegedly by the Tsarnaev brothers. FOX News reported that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has since been transferred from his high-security hospital room to a federal prison medical center in Devens, Mass. Dzhokhar was found hiding in a boat in a Watertown, Mass. woman's backyard shortly after Gov. Deval Patrick, D-Mass., lifted the shelter-in-place order initiated for the safety of the public during the manhunt for the living Tsarnaev.
