Thieves have set their sights on Lawton Elementary School in the 4000 block of 27th Ave W over the past few days. This past Saturday (8/28), someone cut a lock to the north gate of the school. A large rock was used to break the window of room 101. The window isn’t large, which leads officers to believe the burglars were small in stature. They apparently made off with a laptop computer.
The following day, officers noticed that someone had also tried to break into room 102 by using a large tool to open a window. The damage was considerable and officers didn’t notice it during their investigation on Saturday, leading them to believe it was a separate burglary attempt. This time, the burglars didn’t make it inside.
