Also a Hitachi CPDX Projector was ripped off the ceiling and stolen.

“The cost to repair damage to the school building and to replace the equipment will be over £1000 which will ultimately have an overall effect on the school budget and our children’s education,” said the PSNI.

Constable Aaron McKenna is appealing to anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity in the area to contact police at Lurgan on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 159 06/06/17
