Springfield police have stepped up contact with Peter Pan and Amtrak personnel
SPRINGFIELD -- Some state troopers from Western Massachusetts are being sent to the Boston area to assist in the search for surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
“We are pooling our resources from across the state,” state Trooper Todd Nolan said.
Nolan declined to elaborate on the shifting of resources to the Boston area save to say that ample coverage remains statewide.
Springfield Police Officer Charles Youmans, spokesman for Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said the department has stepped up contact with Peter Pan and Amtrak personnel in the city as the manhunt continues.
“We are all just trading information at this time,” Youmans said.
Peter Pan has indefinitely canceled all bus service to Boston. Amtrak personnel were not immediately available for comment.
