An alleged coyote sighting on Moose Jaw's south hill Thursday afternoon had area schools taking precautions. 

Riverview Collegiate, Empire School and St. Mary elementary all implemented "hold and secure" procedures, which meant that students were not allowed outside the building, while an investigation took place. 

Moose Jaw police say there was a complaint of a coyote "wandering around the ball diamonds behind Empire school" but a search of the area revealed nothing.  The "hold and secure" was then lifted.
