POLKTON, NC — Two days after an unprecedented search at a local prison, WCCB has learned the investigation is continuing.
The Department of Public Safety tells us it’s still collaborating with state and federal partners to determine what future “actions” at Lanesboro Correctional Institution in Polkton are necessary. If it sounds vague, it is.
Despite the massive law enforcement presence on Wednesday, officials won’t say what prompted the prison investigation. They would say that they found one smuggled cell phone and one homemade knife after 13 hours of searching.
