Break-In at All Saints Primary School Under Investigation

By

Published

Police are investigating a break-in at a primary school in All Saints that took place late Friday night into the early hours of Saturday morning.

According to reports, intruders forced open a western office door and gained entry into the principal’s office. The building was ransacked, and a storeroom was broken into.

Thieves made off with a Stihl weed wacker and a bunch of keys. The value of the stolen items is still being assessed.

Law enforcement officers responded to the scene shortly after the incident was reported.

A search of the surrounding area was conducted, but no suspects were found and the stolen property was not recovered.

Senior officers and crime scene investigators have been informed, and inquiries are continuing.

    With those kind of petty crimes as you put it. The profile to check as a suspect is a drug addict or vagrant know to the area. Places they would actually try to cash-in on these items would be at local drug dealers in the area or pawn shops these are places to check for leads.
