Detectives are appealing for information after a series of break-ins at The Clarendon Academy, which saw offices ransacked and tools stolen.
Wiltshire Police have launched an investigation after a series of burglaries hit The Clarendon Academy on Frome Road in Trowbridge. Officers have confirmed that multiple incidents took place at the school site over the course of several weeks, leading to significant disruption and property theft.
According to police reports, three males entered the school premises on October 15 and 16, where they ransacked office spaces and caused damage to corridors. During this period, the intruders managed to steal a quantity of tools and drills. Further enquiries have linked these events to earlier break-ins at the same location, which occurred on September 22 and October 12.
Investigators have released a CCTV image of three individuals they wish to identify in connection with the latest incidents. Two of the suspects were observed wearing entirely black clothing and face coverings. The third suspect is described as being between 18 and 25 years old with visible facial hair. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a cream baseball cap, a turquoise blue t-shirt, black joggers, and black trainers featuring a white sole. He was also seen carrying a black rucksack.
Authorities are urging anyone who recognises the individuals in the images, or who may have witnessed suspicious activity near the Frome Road site during the relevant dates, to come forward. Information can be provided by calling 101 and quoting the crime reference number 54260112330. Alternatively, those who wish to remain anonymous may contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
