BOSTON – Shortly before authorities arrested Boston Marathon bombings suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Watertown Friday night, the FBI took into custody three others in connection to their investigation.

Two women and one man, both of whom appeared to be college-aged, were apprehended for questioning from the Hidden Brook Apartments on Carriage Drive in New Bedford, several news outlets reported.

The FBI has not released the names of those in custody.

New Bedford Police Dept. Lt. Robert Richard told Fox News they were being questioned and were not under arrest, though pictures from the scene showed at least one person being led away in handcuffs.

The Massachusetts State Police Department has not responded to an inquiry on the arrests.

The three were apprehended after the FBI conducted a search warrant on an apartment at the complex, which is about 10 minutes from the Dartmouth campus, where Dzhokhar, 19, was a student.

Neighbors told the local ABC affiliate that Dzhokhar’s girlfriend may have lived in the apartment complex and some reported seeing him in the area following the bombings at the marathon, which killed three people and injured more than 170. (read more)
