Armored Car Robbery At School Could Bring Policy Changes.

DEER PARK, TX -- The robbery of an armored car courier in the parking lot of a Deer Park ISD campus on Monday could lead to changes in how cash is collected from school districts.

On Nov. 14, at 9:30 a.m., two masked men robbed a money courier in the parking lot Deepwater Junior High at 501 Glenmore Drive, Pasadena police reported.

According to police, the courier picked up a cash deposit from the school and was placing the bag into the trunk of his vehicle, when two men wearing masks and hoodies and carrying a rifle approached him and demanded the cash.

Pasadena Police Department Spokesman Vance Mitchell said the car used in the robbery was found in a field near the school.

Meanwhile, the robbery has officials at Deer Park ISD re-evaluating procedures for how money is picked up at the schools and how the process works.

"The bigger concern is that we don't want it to affect our ability to keep our kids safe,"DPISD Director of Communications Matt Lucas told the Pasadena Citizen.

Deepwater Junior High is on the southwest corner of a larger complex of campuses that includes an early childhood center and two elementary schools, Deepwater and Parkwood.

Deer Park ISD sent a letter to parent of students in the Deepwater complex informing them of the incident.

According to Mitchell, no students or employees were placed in danger and all the doors to the school were locked and secured at the time of the incident.
