Fulton County district officials told Channel 2 the incident happened between 10 p.m. Sunday and 3 a.m. Monday. The buses were being temporarily stored at the school because of work at the district’s transportation center, the news station reported.

School police arrested a man and two minors hours later, according to Channel 2. While they are not identifying the suspects, police said none are Banneker students and all face felony charges of interference with government property.

Parents were notified that the school was briefly locked down Monday during an investigation, Channel 2 reported.
