Lynbrook High School and the kindergarten center were put on lockdown Friday, after a male matching the description of an attempted robbery in Rockville Centre was spotted in the area. The lockdown lasted only about 20 minutes.

“At this time, please do not come to either location,” Superintendent Melissa Burak posted on the Lynbrook Public Schools Facebook page at around 2:24 p.m. By 2:47, Burak posted that the lockdown was lifted and the suspect was in police custody.

A call to the Rockville Centre Police Department for information about the suspect was not returned as of press time.
