Police allow Barrett/Price residents to return home

After a day of searching for shooting suspect Eric Frein, the Pennsylvania State Police has lifted the shelter in place order and are recommending that people in Barrett/Price Townships of Monroe County use extreme caution as they move back into the area.

"The PSP are very concerned for the safety of the community and are strongly recommending that people in the affected area stay in their homes and do not go in to the woods where law enforcement is searching," said public relations officer Maria Finn.

Finn said Frein is not in custody, but, "our troopers are determined to find him and bring him to justice."

State police are still recommending a number of precautions:

· First and foremost be alert and vigilant. If you see any vehicles or individuals that are out of the ordinary, please report them to 911 or our tip line (866-326-7256) immediately.

· Do not approach or encounter any suspicious persons or vehicles, but rather report them immediately. The suspect is still considered armed and dangerous.

· Lock all doors to both your residence and your vehicles.

· At night, keep the exterior of your home well-lit.

· Look for open shed doors or other locations that were once secure but now appear open, and immediately report the information.
