2 arrested in Gloucester Township home invasion

GLOUCESTER TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- Two people are under arrest following a robbery that led to the lockout of several schools in Gloucester Township, New Jersey.

Police were called around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday to a home on the 100 block of York Terrace.

It all began when a resident ran from his house and told police several suspects had broken into his home and assaulted him.

Police quickly took two suspects in custody, but were told a possible third suspect had fled on foot.

That prompted the search. which led to several nearby schools being placed in a lockout, as a precaution.

No other suspect was found and, after about an hour, police lifted the school lockdown.
