Two Denver schools in Montbello were on lockout Wednesday morning while police investigated two suspicious packages nearby, which were later deemed not dangerous.
Denver police were alerted to the packages at about 7 a.m., a spokeswoman said. One was found in the 4500 block of North Crown Boulevard and the other was found in the 14200 block of East Albrook Drive.
Police found that the packages were not dangerous about 8:18 a.m. and cleared the scene, according to Denver police.
Staff at McGlone Academy, an elementary school, asked parents to not bring their students to school until 9:15 a.m., Denver Public Schools spokeswoman Alex Renteria said.
Farrell B. Howell, which is nearby and serves students through eighth grade, was also placed on lockout, according to the district.
No further details were immediately available.
