Police Searching for Person; No Threat to Public (Update)

Readers have been asking about a helicopter flying overhead around the area of Fulton School and Vogt Woods. 

I spoke with the Tinley Park police, and they are searching for an individual, but the situation is not a threat to the public. 

Those are all the details we know. We'll update the story if more information becomes available.

UPDATE (9:42 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25): Community Editor Nick Swedberg reports that police searching streets near the woods could not comment about the situation at this time.
UPDATE (9:50 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25): According to Frankfort Fire Department Incidents Facebook page, unconfirmed reports from the police scanner indicated that a traffic stop led to a person running from police. The page is reporting that two people were apprehended by police, according to unconfirmed scanner reports.
Community Editor Nick Swedberg is reporting from the scene that people are still walking through yards with flashlights.
