In the third week of May, four desktop computers were stolen from the junior block of St Albans Primary School.
Deputy Principal Glen McKenzie said that it served as a reminder to the community that even good security systems are not infallible. “We thought we had pretty good security,” he said, “but obviously there are people who can find ways around these things, so security will be even further enhanced.”
The children’s learning continued however. Teachers moved those in affected classrooms to the school hall for their morning lessons.
It was disconcerting for the school that the theft happened over the space of two consecutive nights.
If any members of the public have any information or saw anything on the night of 20 or 21 May, please could they contact the Police.
