ROBBERY SUSPECTS LOCKDOWN SCHOOL

The robbery of a southeast Bakersfield restaurant also caused a nearby school to go on lockdown.

Plantation Elementary was closed off shortly after Tacos El Dorado on White Lane and South H Street was hit at 9:00 Wednesday morning. Police detective Alex Menendez says they tracked down two men pretty quickly to Calcutta Drive where one was arrested. The second suspect was caught after a chase, and the pair were found with guns on them.

The lockdown was lifted around noon.
