Jenkintown school superintendent Jill Takacs issued the following email:

This morning approximately at 8:30 am, we were contacted by the Jenkintown Police Department to go into a lockdown situation because of suspicious activity in the Borough. We immediately followed this order. The lockdown was lifted within 5 minutes, and we were then notified that the lockdown was due to the police serving a search warrant on the 200 block of Summit Avenue. At no time were students or staff in danger. We thank everyone for their cooperation during this event. 

No further details were offered.
