Police Standoff in Allentown, PA



The scene at 12th and Turner Sts in Allentown was a big draw for local curiosity seekers. Police cordoned off a 12 block area in hopes of catching a couple of suspects who apparently eluded a warrant service.

The crowd waited patiently in the cold from 4:30 until 9:30 pm for the big action finale, but it never came.


Tim Cox, of WFMZ- 69 News waited with the rest of us to catch the action.


Spotlights were directed at a home where police believed the suspects were hiding out. Rumor was that they were holding hostages.



An armored vehicle with police sniper took position on Turner St. ready for an action sequence that didn't occur.
