At approximately 4:39 p.m. last night, April 14, officers from the Southwest Precinct responded to a silent burglary alarm at the Fairmount Park Elementary School building in the 3800 block of Southwest Findlay Street.

After they arrived officers surrounded the building. Three suspects fled the building and were apprehended after a foot pursuit. Officers then made entry into the building and arrested three more suspects inside. All six male suspects were transported to the Southwest Precinct.

Two of the suspects are reportedly young adults while the other four are juveniles. Preliminary investigation indicates that there was no property damage committed inside the building. The disposition of the six suspects has not yet been determined as this incident is still being actively investigated by responding officers.

Fairmount Park is currently closed and has not been used, for two years. The school district has scheduled summer school programs in the building, in part to activate the building and prevent incidents of vandalism.
