By Breaking Belize News Staff: Police reports indicate that 23 Chromebooks were among thousands of dollars worth of equipment stolen during a burglary at Lucky Strike Government Primary School earlier this month.
The school’s principal reported that the school’s office was broken into sometime between the afternoon of September 11 and the morning of September 14.
Police say locks on the burglar-bar door and wooden door were damaged.
A black Toshiba 38-inch television valued at BZ$1,000 and a backpack containing school supplies and snacks were initially discovered missing.
Two lockers containing Chromebooks were also tampered with. According to the police report, 13 Chromebooks in one locker were accounted for, but on September 17 the principal discovered that another 23 — three white HP devices and 20 dark-grey Lenovo Chromebooks — were gone.
Police placed the value of the missing Chromebooks at approximately BZ$17,250, not including the television and other stolen items.
The burglary had previously been reported publicly, with Lucky Strike PTA President Andrew Chacon saying the theft had severely affected the school’s ability to conduct technology lessons. That report stated that approximately 25 Chromebooks had been stolen, while the subsequent police situation report lists 23.
Chacon had also said the school serves 98 students and urged members of the public to report anyone attempting to sell the missing devices.
