The lockdown at Bayview Primary has now been lifted.
Police dogs and their handlers have tracked from a car found in the area. It is still not yet known whether the car is or isn’t related to the bank robbery at the ANZ in Glenfield.
CIB staff are at the bank conducting a scene examination and are speaking with witnesses.
At this point the offender, who fled with a sum of money, remains outstanding and efforts to identify and locate him are ongoing.
A further update will be released in the next hour or so.
