“In Waregem, this concerns three definitive burglaries and one attempted burglary in primary schools and a daycare center,” Dewulf said. “We assume that it is always the same gang, because they always operate in the same way. They force the door with brute force and make off with tablets, laptops or computers.”
For example, they struck the urban primary school Torenhof along the Albert Servaeslaan in Waregem. “They made off with 30 Chromebooks. But they also previously struck schools in Sint-Eloois-Vijve and Zulte. This week they attempted to break into a school, but they did not steal anything. There is currently no trace of the perpetrators, but we are conducting a full investigation.”
