Officers ended the search for three men who allegedly led police on a short chase that ended near Lone Star College Montgomery.

An officer with the Oak Ridge North Police Department spotted what turned out to be a stolen vehicle in that area around 12:30 p.m. Monday and chased the vehicle for a short time. The vehicle eventually stopped on Texas 242 at the community college, and three men bailed from the car and began running toward the campus, according to reports.

Officers with Oak Ridge North, Shenandoah and deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office as well as DPS Troopers scoured the area but were unable to find them.

Lone Star College issued a lockdown as police searched for the men but cancelled it shortly after officers could not find them around 1:45 p.m. Students, faculty and staff of Sam Houston State University - The Woodlands Center were also momentarily placed on lockdown, since the two schools are located on the same campus.

Conroe ISD's The Woodlands College Park High School, which sits right across the street from the college, is not in session today.
