These are crazy little particles that are understood to have a very small mass, a fraction of an electron volt, but this mass varies widely.

Could these be the first tachyons known to mankind? Why weren’t neutrinos caught by the cosmic cops before this?

According to Einstein's theory, if they have any mass at all the mass would grow to infinity as the particles approached light speed. That is why objects with mass are not supposed to ever reach light speed. But an object with mass **exceeding** light speed???
