St Mary’s College was amongst the schools broken into at the weekend
Five local schools were broken into over the course of three days at the weekend.
The first break-ins occurred when on Saturday when the Redeemer Boys’ School and Scoil Eoin Baiste in Fatima were broken into. Nothing was taken from the Redeemer but a small amount of cash was taken from Scoil Eoin Baiste.
Then on Sunday, St Mary’s College – known locally as the Marist – was broken into after a stone was thrown through a window. While its offices were ransacked, nothing was taken.
Then in the early hours of Monday morning at around 3.20am, the De La Salle secondary school was broken into with glass smashed in doors. Finally the office of the nearby Dun Lughaidh secondary school were broken into around the same time. The offices were ransacked but again nothing was taken.
Gardaí believe the same individual may have been behind the five break-ins and are appealing for anyone with information to contact them at Dundalk Garda Station.
