Police announced on Twitter the postponement of a press conference originally scheduled for 10 a.m. as “further investigation needed.”

There’s no word from police if the arrests were related to a sex trafficking ring bust involving underage girls.

Sage Finestone, 21, Nicholas Faria, 19, and Natasha Robataille, 18, currently face 43 charges in connection to luring two girls, 16 and 14, into the sex trade.

Police are still looking for more victims to come forward.
