Vandals target school for the second time in a month

Between 10pm on March 23 and 6:30am on March 24 unknown offenders smashed the panes at Longsands Academy in Longsands Road, St Neots.

This follows a previous incident between 9pm on February 24 and 8:30am on February 25 where windows and a security light were damaged.

Head Teacher Martin Paine said: “The costs to resolve the damage and to ensure our students have a safe and enjoyable learning environment is considerable. The monies being spent to rectify the reckless and unwarranted actions of a minority group within the community has a negative impact on vital resources that we should be using for the benefit of all of our students.”

PC Carl Harris added: “I would urge anyone who may know who is responsible for this criminal damage to get in touch with police.”
