FRIENDSHIP — About 300 members of different federal, state and local law enforcement agencies searched the Allegany County town of Friendship Saturday afternoon after receiving a call from a witness who spotted two men on a railroad line that runs along County Route 20 there.
The description given was similar to the description of David Sweat and Richard Matt, the two men who escaped from the Clinton County Correctional Facility on June 6. However, law enforcement officers have extensively searched the area and determined the area to be clear.
Tips and leads continue to come in across the state along with unconfirmed sightings, but the primary focus of the search has returned to the Dannemora area, where police say forensic evidence place the pair of convicts within the past day or so.
Police are asking residents who live in the Dannemora area to continue to be on alert. If these men are spotted, please call 911 immediately. Do not approach, as both are considered to be very dangerous.
The public should not hesitate to report any suspicious activity including any signs of a trespass, burglary or vehicle larceny. Contact 911, your local law enforcement agency, or the New York State Police to report any information related to this investigation at (518) 563-3761 or 1-800-GIVETIP. Tips can also be sent by email to crimetip@troopers.ny.gov.
