Around 6:40 p.m., police responded to the area of Canton Street and Marion Street, where a male had been reported going through a backyard.

"We now believe this male may still be in the area," Randolph police initially wrote in a Facebook post. They later said he is no longer believed to be in the area.

Police are asking anyone who sees a suspicious person to call 781-963-1212 or 911.

The Randolph Police Department did not give a description of the man or say why he was wanted in Stoughton. It noted that both police departments were searching with assistance from the Massachusetts State Police and its Air Wing helicopter.
