Nearly a dozen New
York state troopers descended upon a parking lot near George
Washington Elementary School on Tuesday morning.
A criminal investigation prompted an hourslong lockout at the
school.
Yorktown police were seen at the school all day, as the lockout only
lifted when class ended.
New York State
Police say the investigation is unrelated to George Washington Elementary and that
there is no known threat.
Lakeland Central
School District placed the school under a lockout out of an abundance of
caution.
It's
still unclear what prompted the investigation, but state police told
News 12 it is ongoing
