Thieves stole a student's bike and stripped down a minibus for parts after targeting a specialist school in County Durham.
Intruders broke into the UTC South Durham site in Newton Aycliffe over the weekend and targeted a school mini bus and stole a bike from a shelter. The incident has been branded "frustrating" by the school and had an impact on students who were due to sit their GCSEs.
The incident came to light after site security at UTC South Durham were notified on Sunday evening that there had been a break-in with thieves stripping a minibus for parts as well as stealing a student’s bike. After assessing the damage to the minibus, site security concluded that the thieves had left it un-roadworthy as the majority of the front had been removed from the vehicle and taken.
