Officers investigating a burglary at a school in which so much damage
was caused the school had to remain closed for the day are appealing for
information.
In the early hours of Friday 22 March, Brampton Ellis School, on
Brampton Road in Welt Melton, Rotherham was broken into by three
offenders.
The offenders entered the school by breaking a window, before injecting
expandable foam into the alarm boxes in an effort to silence them.
It is thought the offenders were attempting to steal a safe from inside
the school building.

the incident that the school had to remain closed on Friday. This caused
significant inconvenience to staff and parents who had to make
alternative arrangements to care for children who should have been at
school.”
