Federal prosecutors are now heading up the investigation into three recent arson fires at Jewish centers in Arlington and Needham that shocked both towns and prompted a massive solidarity rally Monday night.
“The US Attorney is the lead on this investigation,” said Jennifer Mieth, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Fire Services, via e-mail, adding that “the investigation continues apace with sizable resources.”
The FBI and US Attorney Andrew E. Lelling’s office both declined to comment Tuesday.
