Update: Police continue to search for the car that appeared on South Mebane's campus today. The vehicle, which was a rental, came through the car line without a child. When approached, the vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. We do not consider it a threat to the campus at this time. Due to this being an elementary school, we are acting out of an abundance of caution and police are investigating thoroughly.
