An Arlington elementary school delayed the release of its students Tuesday afternoon while police searched for a burglar nearby.
Students were kept inside Blanton Elementary School until about 4:45 p.m., according to Arlington police.
Investigators say officers were dispatched to a burglary in progress call in the 500 block of Biggs Terrace at about 2:20 p.m. When police arrived at the home, they arrested one person as a second ran away.
The school, which is located along South Collins Street at East Lovers Lane, was placed on lockdown as a precaution.
The second person was arrested a short time later and the students were released to go home.
The lockdown at Blanton ES has been lifted. Students are now being dismissed. — Arlington ISD (@ArlingtonISD) October 21, 2014
