Police are following lines of inquiry after two people were caught on camera trying to break into Mokoia Intermediate School yesterday.
Principal Rawiri Wihapi posted images of the people online to find out who the individuals were and had since been tipped off.
In the Facebook post, Wihapi said the cameras caught the pair climbing up to the school's archive room window and pulling paper out of it, and smashing a window.
"Look forward to a knock on your door," the post read.
Police went to the school to review the footage this morning.
A police spokeswoman said police received a report of a break-in at the school yesterday and nothing seemed to be stolen.
"Hypothetically, any charges laid would likely be burglary or possibly wilful damage," she said.
Wihapi said the security cameras were installed a month ago after eight windows were smashed. He said this was the first break-in since January 7.
"We needed to do something," he said.
He said this was a warning that the school was under security surveillance and now extra patrol.
"Any vandalism, theft or inappropriate behaviour will be caught on camera."
As the crowd chanted, Seymour walked back into the Beehive with his MPs.
