Computer equipment worth £11,000 stolen from Heathfield school

 

Police are appealing for witnesses after thousands of pounds worth of computer equipment was stolen from a school in Heathfield.

 

Sussex Police say the stolen items include 85 iPads, 10 MacBooks, five Mac minis, four laptops and two tablet computers. Most of the devices are laser engraved with asset numbers, meaning they can be remotely blocked, making them unusable. In total, the equipment is worth in the region of £11,000.

 

The incident occurred at Heathfield Community College, in Cade Street, between 10pm and 10.40pm on Saturday, August 20.

That's interesting.

 

I'm at a school in Tunbridge Wells and we lost 20 iMacs last Thursday. It's quite close. It seemed like a professional job. I wonder if schools are being targeted in the area.

Might be worth having a word with the police to see if Kent and Sussex forces can do some joined up thinking... Or ringing that crimestoppers number
