Lockdown Lifted on School During Search For Robbery Suspect in SW Miami-Dade

A South Florida school is no longer on lockdown as police search for the person involved in a nearby robbery.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools placed Coral Park Elementary, located off SW 97th Avenue and 12th Street, under lockdown as the school is located inside a perimeter set up nearby in the search for that suspect.

The perimeter had been set up between 12th and 16th Streets, as K-9 units were also called to the scene to assist in the search. Miami-Dade Police have since broken it down, but say the suspect is still on the loose.

MDCPS officials tweeted that students and staff were safe before lifting the lockdown shortly after 10:30 a.m.
