Police are not doing a good job the news should read man shot dead in shootout with police at school 3 am ..
Good work officers, but we need cameras and proper fencing at these schools. It’s overdue
Have the cameras been installed and was it effective? Do these schools have security?
So man breaking into school to steal stationery? Lord, some people really need purpose.
Great work police.
Sad to see our schools dealing with this. Security definitely needs improvement.
Stationery? Pens and markers? This man need counselling, not prison
Glad to hear the suspect was caught, our schools need to feel safe for students and staff.
Breaking into a school must be a new low. What next?
Sad that our children’s learning spaces can’t even be safe from criminals
