Search On In Modesto After Photo Of Suspicious Person Circulates On Social Media
MODESTO (CBS13) – Police in Modesto are investigating a report of a suspicious person with what looks like a weapon.
A photo that has been shared more than a thousand times on social media prompted the search early Monday afternoon. In the photo, a person in camouflaged clothing can be seen carrying an object many have interpreted as a weapon.
Modesto police say they have found the general area where the person was last seen. Officers are now out looking for the person.
Officers note that another witness says it looked like the person was carrying a folding chair or tent, not a weapon.
The search is concentrated in the area of Standiford Avenue and Hahn Drive.
