Police from multiple jurisdictions descended on downtown Lafayette Tuesday following an attempted robbery at a Chase bank branch and an earlier crime in Alamo.
Lafayette Elementary School was placed on lockdown as parents scurried to pickup children and dozens of police searched for two suspects they believed responsible for the crimes.
Two people were detained and the school lockdown order lifted at around 2:30 p.m.
Police concentrated their search in the area of Moraga Road at Brook Street and Brook Street to Lafayette Circle.
