Police Reports
Attempted burglary incident leads
to ‘soft lockdowns’ at GBN, Maple
Someone in the 1800
block of Janke Drive reported
seeing two male
subjects attempting to burglarize
a work van around
2:23 p.m. on Thursday,
Sept. 12, an incident that
prompted precautionary
measures at Glenbrook
North and Maple schools.
After the complainant
confronted the two men,
it was reported to police
that one may have had a
weapon.
The incident led to a
“suspended schedule” at
Glenbrook North and a
“soft lockdown” at Maple
School.
GBN Principal Dr. John
L. Finan described the decision
as a “precautionary
measure due to a police
incident at nearby business”
in an email sent to
parents.
Under a suspended
schedule, the school does
not allow anyone to enter
or exit the building, according
to Finan.
The suspended schedule
was lifted at approximately
2:45 p.m., according
to Finan.
Thomas Moore, a
spokesperson for the
Northbrook Police Department,
said the incident
is still under investigation,
and it is not yet known if
one of the subjects was
armed.
