Wesley Preschool is latest victim of break-in

It was only last week that Belize City police were called out to investigate a break-in at Wesley Primary School on Albert Street. Today authorities are relying on public assistance to solve yet another burglary in the neighbourhood. This time, Wesley preschool was the target. News Five’s Jacqueline Woods reports.

?To tell you the truth it is very, very frustrating because to see that we have to work so hard, and we work very hard everyday and to come in a morning, a Monday morning, and to see our school has been broken into, it?s very frustrating.?

Sometime between Friday evening and early Monday morning, a thief or thieves broke into Wesley Preschool by removing a burglar bar from one of the building?s side windows. Teacher Sarah Vaughan says the first thing she noticed was that a light was left on inside the classroom and she immediately felt sick knowing that the premises had been violated.

?Oh my, our school… This is the first time that I can remember from 1995 after we had the fire, it?s the first time that they really broke into the school.?

?They gone with all of our radios and then they went with?it?s several things they gone with, like our clock. We had a nice beautiful clock that was given to us by a parent and they went with that and several other things such as things for the bathroom, the kitchen, even down to the hammer, knife, you know things like that they went with it.?

Presently the school will try to replace the stolen items, but sends out an appeal to the public to contact them or the police if someone tries to sell them any of the hot goods. Reporting for News Five, Jacqueline Woods.
