(KAIR)--A short period of precautionary security measures at a local school.
That’s what the Superintendent for Riverside USD 114 said happened Thursday morning, January 31, at the school’s East Campus, in Elwood.
Robert Blair, in a statement released early Thursday afternoon, said the measures were put in place for about 20 minutes Thursday morning.
He said that happened after the school district was contacted by the Elwood Police Department regarding a search for a burglary suspect on foot in the vicinity of the East Campus.
Blair, in the statement, said the district was then notified that the suspect was in custody.
Blair said no students were ever in danger, and “the safety and security of [the] students continues to be a top priority” for the school district.
Details regarding the burglary that sparked the extra security aren’t immediately known.
