The arrest ends an investigation that lasted nearly five years. It follows the FBI's release of security footage nine months ago showing someone carrying a bag in an alley near the RNC headquarters and the Capitol Hill Club.

FBI Arrests Suspect in Pipe‑Bombings Near Party Headquarters, Sources Say

Sources told ABC News that the Federal Bureau of Investigation took a man into custody on Thursday in connection with the placement of pipe bombs outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee offices on the night before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The arrest, made Thursday morning, brings to a close a nearly five‑year investigation into the devices. Officials have not yet publicly released details about charges or the suspect's identity.

Nine months ago the FBI released security footage that showed an individual carrying a bag down an alley that runs between the RNC headquarters and the Capitol Hill Club. At the time, the bureau said the devices were planted sometime "between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m." on Jan. 5.

Timeline: Devices placed the evening of Jan. 5; arrest occurred Thursday morning after a multiyear inquiry and review of security footage.

This is a developing story and will be updated as officials release more information.
