The Supreme Preparatory School in Montego Bay is now reeling after thieves broke into the institution, last week Thursday night into Friday morning, making off with a number of valuable items.
The police, who were called in to investigate said the thieves gained entry by cutting the locks and grill to the backdoor. They subsequently removed items including two speaker boxes, amplifier, main computer to the office that contains important information, flash-drive, copier, printer, clothes iron, radio and two large boxes of food items.
According to principal Nella Perrier, ‘This is very bad. It’s quite stressful and is a great setback for the school, badly inconveniencing the daily operations, causing us to source assistance elsewhere,” she stressed.
She further stated that the security system was breached, which enabled the culprits to carry out their nefarious act.
Putting a dollar value to the incident, Mrs. Perrier noted that the stolen items, inclusive of replacements and repairs, cost in excess of one million dollars.
