" Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger was captured near Los Angeles

just days after the government launched a new publicity campaign to
locate the fugitive mobster, said Steven Martinez, FBI's assistant
director in charge in Los Angeles. The arrest was based on a tip from
the campaign, he said.
The FBI had been conducting a surveillance operation in the area where
the arrest was made, said police Sgt. Rudy Flores, who gave no details
of the arrest.
FBI agents still swarmed around Bulger's building late Wednesday,
hours after the arrests in a neighborhood of two and three-story
apartment buildings.
Bulger lived on the third floor of The Princess Eugenia, a three-

couple hadn't stood out as unusual.
Bulger and Grieg were scheduled to make an appearance in Los Angeles
federal court Thursday. He faces a series of federal charges including
murder, conspiracy to commit murder, narcotics distribution, extortion

harboring a fugitive. He was on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list for
his alleged role in 19 murders..."
