Police activity restricts traffic through Davie neighborhood, five schools on lockdown
Ellie Adcock on January 11, 2011 in School StuffDAVIE — Police activity that began about 1 p.m. was restricting traffic through a Davie neighborhood Thursday afternoon, officials said. Meanwhile, five nearby public schools have been placed on lockdown.
The restrictions involve local streets in the vicinity of Southwest 61st Avenue and 38th Court.
The area is just east of Davie Rd.
Motorists through that area should seek alternate routes.
The five schools – Davie Elementary and four Nova schools – were put on lockdown this afternoon, said Marsy Smith, a spokeswoman for the Broward County School District. The lockdown, which started around 2 p.m., was keeping students at Davie Elementary past the end of the day.
Smith said police recommended the lockdown because of an incident in the area. She didn’t know what the incident was.
It was unclear whether the traffic restrictions and the lockdown were related.
No other information was immediately available.
