Police have arrested a man in connection with the investigation of two New York City men whose bodies were found in a brush fire along a highway last week.

Police say Rogelio Rodriguez was arrested Tuesday on charges of murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal tampering.

Information on a lawyer for the 34-year-old man was not immediately available.

Police said earlier they believe 22-year-old Rudy Superville and 25-year-old Gary Lopez were shot and stabbed to death after attempting to rob a drug dealer's Brooklyn home.

Firefighters found their fully clothed bodies last Wednesday in a grassy area off the Belt Parkway in the Howard Beach section of Queens.

Police are searching for at least three other suspects in the investigation.
