Three college friends of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are under arrest, suspected of removing items from his dorm room after the April 15 attack, NBC News reported, citing sources.

Two of them were detained April 20 on immigration charges and a third has now been taken into custody, sources said.

They will be charged with lying to federal investigators for denying they took the items from the dorm, federal authorities said.

"Three additional suspects taken into custody in marathon bombing case. Details to follow," the Boston Police Department said in an official statement earlier in the day.

The police department has released no further information of the suspects' identities or their alleged roles.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old student, has been charged over the bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 260 others.

His elder brother, Tamerlan, was killed during a shoot-out with police in Boston on 19 April.

Authorities had earlier suggested that the two brothers were believed to have worked alone.
