Vandals who broke into École McIsaac School over the weekend may have destroyed some surveillance cameras, but they didn’t eliminate all video evidence.
Flin Flon RCMP expected to review security footage, as well as other evidence gathered from the scene, in hopes of solving the second break-in at the school in as many months.
RCMP said officers were on scene at 5:27 am last Saturday, Dec. 13, seven minutes after McIsaac’s alarm system sounded. By then, whoever had entered the school was gone.
In addition to breaking some surveillance cameras, the culprit or culprits discharged some fire extinguishers.
Cpl. Stacy Wiens said numerous items were seized from the scene. Fingerprint analysis is a possibility.
Police could not say Monday who the culprits were or how many of them took part in the break-in.
Also unclear is whether the break-in is connected to an Oct. 24 incident in which someone shattered door glass to enter McIsaac and dumped yellow paint on the floor and some children’s artwork.
RCMP ask anyone with information on either McIsaac break-in to contact them at 204-687-1423 or Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Callers to Crime Stoppers need never reveal their identity and may become eligible for a cash reward.
