School thieves strike again

Kilsyth Academy was broken into between midnight on Sunday, August 26, and 6.30 am the next day.

Thieves smashed their way through the glass window of a fire exit door to gain entry to the school and nicked a box of clothing, which was later recovered in Montrose Gardens.

It is the fourth break-in the school has endured since the start of summer, and the Kilsyth Chronicle reported last week that North Lanarkshire Council would be carrying out a security review to deal with the problem.
