Police release pair who photographed Picatinny Arsenal

Two men were released from police custody this morning after they took photos of Picatinny Arsenal Sunday afternoon, an incident that led to Route 15 in Morris County being shut for three hours last night.

Route 15 was closed in case there was "something hazardous in the vehicle," Phillips said.

The men told authorities a friend who grew up in the area asked them to take pictures to see how the area had changed, Phillips said.

"They looked at the laptop to see if there is anything suspicious," Phillips said. "Everything they told police checked out."
