"The massive police presence Thursday in Upper Bucks County is in fact related to the series of explosions that have rocked the community for months, the Bucks County District Attorney's office has confirmed.

Larry King, a spokesman for the DA's office, said that office is now involved with the investigation, as are the county detectives. That agency joins Pennsylvania State Police, the FBI and ATF in the investigation into the 20-plus blasts that have baffled residents since April. "

Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub is planning to address the media at a 3:30 briefing.
