COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Police presence in the neighborhood near Northwest High School spurred a lockdown Wednesday afternoon.

Northwest Local School District said on social media that reports of suspicious people in the area prompted a full lockdown at Northwest High School. Pleasant Run Elementary and Pleasant Run Middle School were also put on lockdown due to their proximity to Northwest High School.

Colerain police lifted the lockdown for Pleasant Run Elementary and Middle School at around 3:10 p.m.

While classes were dismissed for the day at Northwest High School, the district said students who were on campus for after-school activities were issued into the building and a controlled dismissal took place.

Colerain police then reported just after 3:30 p.m. that there was no active threat to the community.
