Three schools in Deltona were locked down for over an hour Tuesday morning while Volusia County deputies searched for a burglary suspect in the area.
The lockdown on the following three schools was lifted shortly before noon:
- Heritage Middle School
- Pride Elementary School
- Good Shepherd Academy
A fourth school in the area, Pine Ridge High School, monitored the situation but was not placed on lockdown, according to Volusia County school officials.
Deputies said the burglary happened around 9:20 a.m. at a home in the area of Courtland Boulevard and Howland Boulevard.
The suspect was seen running off into a wooded area.
Deputies took a man in custody shortly before noon, but later said that arrested was unrelated to the original burglary. The lockdown, however, was not reissued.
