POINTE XPRESS: An arson attempt at Clare Hall Secondary School on Tuesday evening resulted in classes being cancelled yesterday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Emergency services were activated early Tuesday evening after unknown persons attempted to torch the school. According to reports, the arsonists threw a Molotov cocktail into the kitchenette of the school\u2019s staff room.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The perpetrators are believed to have entered the campus from behind one of the buildings while the security guard was posted at the front of the compound.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A source revealed the situation could have been much worse than the minor damage caused to the kitchenette.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When the incendiary device was thrown, it melted a large, plastic, drinking water bottle that was on the floor, causing the water to pour out and extinguish the fire.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally, the school\u2019s motion sensor was triggered, alerting the security guard who investigated and summoned the police and fire departments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Investigations have begun. Overtime, Clare Hall Secondary School has been the target of burglars who have entered the principal\u2019s office, stealing the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of his computer, and caused damage to other property.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tuesday evening\u2019s arson attempt, however, was the first act intended to cause major damage to buildings and property belonging to the school.<\/p>\n
