Kensington School in Glens Falls went into lockout on Tuesday after police were looking for a suspect.

Police said they were looking for a person who took off from a sheriff’s patrol in the area of Upper Glen Street near Price Chopper.

They believed the person may have headed toward Cole’s Woods near the school.

Glens Falls Police were stationed in the area of Fire Road in case the person they were searching for came into Glens Falls.

During lockout mode, all students remain inside the building and go about their normal classes and activities, and all individuals must be personally verified at the main entrance before being allowed inside.
