Three women face criminal trespassing charges after police said they forced entry into an abandoned Fort Worth school late Wednesday.
Officers were dispatched to Kirkpatrick Elementary School, located at 3229 Lincoln Ave., after someone reported seeing three people breaking into the building on live video, the call sheet states. The school permanently closed in June and is scheduled for demolition.
The officers didn’t find any signs of burglary, according to police. The suspects used a ladder to climb up to the roof.
“(They) were just hanging out there until officers made the location and detained them,” police said.
The three women — between 20 and 22 years old — were booked into the Fort Worth City Jail and released on bond. They each face one misdemeanor count of criminal trespass, according to jail records.
It’s not clear what the suspects were doing at the location.
