SAN ANTONIO — Highlands High School was placed on lockdown Friday afternoon after a burglary suspect was arrested on campus property.

Police said they responded to a burglary of a vehicle call on Hiawatha Street and two people are now in custody.

One of the robbery suspects did not enter the building, but fled from a nearby scene to the high school's campus on the Southeast Side, said Leslie Price, San Antonio Independent School District spokeswoman.
