Date published: 29 August 2014


Police are appealing for witnesses after thieves broke into a school in Heywood and stole a number of laptops. 

At about 1am on Thursday 28 August 2014 thieves broke into Our Lady & St Pauls Infant School on Sutherland Road and stole 31 MacBook laptops.

Police Constable Nicola Evans of Rochdale division said: “The children are due to return to school next week and they will be very sad to hear their laptops have been stolen and, because of the significant cost, are not easily replaceable.”

“I would urge anyone who has been sold a MacBook in the area or has any information about the stolen property to contact police immediately.”

Anyone with information should phone police on 0161 856 8701 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
