Authorities have made two arrests in Cherokee County, stemming from last month's mailbox bombings near Tahlequah.

Officials say gasoline filled bottles equipped with firecracker fuses were found in four mailboxes - and another bottle was found at a convenience store. None of the bottles caught fire - and no one was injured.

A 17 and 18-year-old are in custody on charges unrelated. But the teenagers reportedly also confessed to making and delivering those mailbox bombs.
