Fury as thieves hit school

Another Hawke's Bay primary school has been the target of thieves.

Greenmeadows School in Greenmeadows was broken into last Saturday, just before 7pm.

Among the items stolen were 10 Chromebooks and two iPads.

The police are working closely with the school to recover the stolen items.

Everything that the thieves took was individually numbered and the iPads had "Room 8" written on them.

Community members took to Facebook to voice their outrage at the theft.

They described those responsible for the break-in as "low-lives", who possessed no "morals, ethics or heart".

One frustrated parent said: "It is our children that miss out out due to the actions of these people." The robbery followed a break-in three weeks ago that left a Hastings school without sports gear.

Riverslea Primary School was stripped of its rugby and soccer balls, skipping ropes, cricket bats, trolleys, tennis balls and racquets.

Police are seeking information about the burglary and out-of-the-ordinary vehicle sightings in the area at the time.
