The arrests stem from an investigation into a series of explosions in mailboxes and other outdoor sites in the area of Town Farm Road in Brookfield, Sturbridge Road in Holland, Boston Road E in Monson and New Boston Road in Sturbridge in late December 2023.

The suspects were identified as part of a joint investigation conducted by Monson, Brookfield, Holland, Sturbridge police, along with a Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit assigned to the State Fire Marshal's Office.

Asselin and Lamarche were scheduled to be arraigned in Dudley District Court on Wednesday.
