Kennedale High School Locked Down During Search for Burglars

Arlington police say Kennedale High School was briefly locked down Thursday after an attempted home burglary near the school.

Officers arrived as three people were leaving the scene.  All three jumped from a vehicle and ran, but one wasn't quick enough to elude police.

The school was locked down for a short time while officers searched the area for the other two people. At this time, they remain at large.
