LAUREL, Md. (WJZ) -- Police have arrested three more people in the murder and robbery of a Laurel man at his home last month, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to five.

Officers found 43-year-old Brian Bregman dead at his home in the 500 block of Main Street on February 3. Police investigated the case as a homicide and arrested 23-year-old Marie Nancy Hassan of Hyattsville and 21-year-old Caleb Rinwi Gonga of Lanham around a week later.

On March 8, police served three search warrants at homes in Prince George's County, the Laurel Police Department said. Officers arrested 20-year-old Michael Phelps of Bowie on a charge of being an accessory after the fact for allegedly disposing of evidence.

Then on Monday, the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested 19-year-old Fabian Tinsley of Hyattsville and 19-year-old Sam Mofor of Bowie. Police said both face numerous charges, including first-degree and second-degree murder and home invasion.
