Late-Night Intruders Confronted By New Trier Staffer

WINNETKA, IL — A group of people broke into New Trier High School and fled after being confronted by a staff member before school earlier this week. Around 2 a.m. on Tuesday, intruders "unlawfully entered" into the school's 385 Winnetka Ave. campus before encountering the unidentified school employee.

Police and school officials did not say who the employee was, whether it was a security guard or what the staffer was doing in the building at that hour.

Later that morning, police and New Trier staff checked the building and determined it was safe and secure for the school day.

After a "full sweep" of the campus, school and police officials determined the building was safe and secure, according to a Winnetka police spokesperson.

Dizon described the police inquiry into the incident as "an important investigation" and said she was unable to provide further details, according to Winnetka Talk.

Neither police nor New Trier officials have said many people allegedly entered the building, how they got in or how they were described.
