Lockdown at Kettering schools over after search for ‘knifeman’
Kettering schools were placed on lockdown after a member of staff spotted a man they thought was carrying a knife.
Police raced to Millbrook Junior School and Millbrook Infant School on the Ise Lodge estate at 9am this morning (Friday) - but soon linked it to an incident earlier this week when a battle re-enacter was seen in the area.
Officers told staff to lock the doors as they searched for a man with ‘a large knife or sword’.
Police could not find the man described to them by staff.
