While perusing the grounds, around 7:45 p.m., officers saw a man and woman on Cypress Street, not far from the school, and, when they were seen, they began running, according to scanner chatter. Police quickly detained the pair. Both were Mirandized and questioned. An officer relayed later to dispatch how they accessed the school.
The K-9 unit searched the school, and the all-clear was given. The man and woman were taken into custody and brought to police headquarters, officers said.
The head custodian also checked the school and secured the building.
In the incident in November 2022, the school was burglarized and ransacked after juveniles entered through a smashed office window.
Deputy Chief John Thomas of the Concord Police Department said last week that four juveniles were eventually arrested and charged in the incident. Their names were not released due to their ages.
