U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement officers detained a man across the street from Bainbridge Elementary School on Tuesday morning, according to police.
Elizabethtown Area School District spokesperson Troy Portser said staff members at the school contacted police to report a suspicious vehicle in the school’s parking lot at 416 N. Second St. in Conoy Township. He said staff members noticed there were a couple of people inside a dark van upon their arrival at around 6:30 a.m.
Portser said the vehicle left the parking lot shortly after staff began arriving at the school but did not move far from campus. ICE officials did not enter the building or interact with any staff, he said.
Susquehanna Regional Police responded to the report and verified that the vehicle, which was unmarked, belonged to federal ICE officers, according to Susquehanna Regional Police Officer Rick Siegel, who said the department received the call at 7:51 a.m.
Siegel said the ICE officers detained a man living on North Second Street, across from the elementary school.
Efforts to reach ICE on Tuesday were unsuccessful.
