Roslindale school broken into again; house down the block also broken into

UPDATE: After surrounding the school and sending in a search dog, police did not find the intruder, Stanley Staco reports. The guy apparently smashed a ground-floor window to gain entry.

Police are investigating a break-in at the Irving Middle School on Cummins Highway tonight. As officers surrounded the school and waited to unleash a police dog in the halls, they received word that a house on Sheldon Street, which runs into Cummins across from the school, had been broken into as well.

Two teenagers were charged with breaking into the school a week ago Saturday and vandalizing several classrooms.

Yikes. Time for the Irving to look into getting a better security system.

Somebody breaks in, the alarm goes off.

A better security wish would be to keep the criminals out, not just an alarm to let folks know that they are there. Last week they managed to do a lot of damage before anyone arrived to stop them.

I coulda sworn they had security grates over the windows, most BPS buildings do, in part so nobody falls out. I can see the appeal for teens to break into their old school, but as a robbery target it seems a poor choice. They might have a chromebook cart or two, but those are usually locked down. Aside from that there isn't a lot you'd want to steal really, you'd have to spend a lot of time looking to find some teacher piling up field trip money or whatnot. You might get some older projectors if you smashed open the built-ins, but they are hardly state of the art and is there even a market for used smartboards?

I'm hearing from sources that should know that there was no break in. Also, I too am pretty sure the windows have grates that would make it very difficult to break them.
