REAL NEWS: Two secondary schools were the recent targets of thieves \u2013 in spite of Government\u2019s announcement, last year, that security on the school plants would be stepped up.<\/p>

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

The principal of Pares Secondary School reported to the Parham Police Station that a number of items, including two 100-pound propane-gas cylinders, one regulator, and three solar lights, were removed from the school compound.<\/p>\n

The thieves also made off with a Pro Max valued at $180, two large black tubs costing $60 each, and three solar motion-sensor lights valued at US$20 each.<\/p>

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

Reportedly, the deputy principal secured the government-run school on December 8, leaving everything intact; but when the school was reopened, she was informed by a teacher that the items were missing.<\/p>

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

Further reports are that the intruders removed a padlock (which appeared not to be locked) from a storeroom in which the gas cylinders were stored. \u00a0The persons then entered a southern classroom where students\u2019 SBA\u2019s were stored and stole some agricultural items.<\/p>\n

The solar lights were removed from the southern, northern and eastern sides of the building.<\/p>

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

A search carried out for the stolen items was not successful.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the principal of Christ the King High School, located on Old Parham Road, reported to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) the larceny of one Vivotex\u00a0camera valued at $550.<\/p>

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

Reportedly, the thief removed the surveillance camera from an area on the northern side of the building where it had been installed.<\/p>

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

This offence reportedly occurred sometime between 1p.m. on December 21 and 8:45 a.m. on January 3.<\/p>\n
