A startling break-in at the Siparia Seventh Day Adventist Primary School has left the staff shaken and authorities scrambling. The principal, upon arriving around 10 a.m. on Saturday, discovered the unsettling signs of forced entry. Her office had been ransacked, with even the secured drawers in a cabinet forced open in the apparent quest for valuables.
Among the stolen items are $615 in cash, a Samsung fast charger valued at $250, and a Bluetooth speaker. But the principal’s office wasn’t the only target. The secretary’s office was also violated, with a drawer containing $2,400 in canteen funds found emptied.
Initial reports suggest that the perpetrators gained access through a window on the side of the building. Intriguingly, that same window was also used as an exit point. The brazen nature of the break-in, in broad daylight, has left many in the community on edge.
Authorities are on the case, with the police launching an investigation into the incident. At this time, however, no suspects have been identified. The community waits with bated breath as the search for the culprits continues.
