Police issued a warning about assisting Cavalcante in eluding capture

In a report from Scripps News, authorities said on Monday that they no longer have a specific search area for a Pennsylvania prison, Danelo Cavalcante but are still employing a variety of techniques to find him.

The last time Cavalcante was seen was Saturday night. He had no beard and was operating a stolen van. He apparently left the van alone, and it is currently thought that he is in the East Nantmeal Township region.

On Monday, police issued a warning about assisting Cavalcante in eluding capture.

Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police warned anyone who may have previously offered assistance or is considering doing so that they would face full legal repercussions.
