Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, both 19 and nationals of Kazakhstan, were charged Thursday with conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstructing justice with the intent to impede the Boston Marathon bombing probe.
The indictment reportedly accused the two men of going into Tsarnaev's dorm room at Southeastern Massachusetts University after seeing his photo on the news and removing several items, including Tsarnaev's laptop computer and a backpack containing fireworks.
Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov allegedly brought the items back to their apartment in New Bedford, Mass. before disposing of them in a dumpster, the station reports.
The two men could face up to 20 years in prison on the obstruction of justice charge and up to five years in prison on the conspiracy charge.
