Cranberry Township police cancel shelter-in-place order after search for "suspicious person"

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) -- Cranberry Township police gave the all-clear after asking residents to shelter in place and lock their doors while officers searched for a "suspicious person" on Tuesday afternoon. 

Township police said the shelter-in-place was canceled around 3:30 p.m. because there is no longer an active threat, but they did not immediately provide any more details.

The incident started when police posted a alert to social media on Tuesday shortly before 1 p.m. asking people to avoid the area of Glen Eden, Freshcorn, Powell and Unionville roads until further notice. 

In an update about 30 minutes later, police said they were looking for a person wearing a Washington football shirt and/or hat. At that time, they told all residents to shelter in place and lock their doors.  

Dispatchers would only confirm police activity in the area of the Cranberry Highlands Golf Course.
