Officers investigating criminal damage and an attempted break-in at Gillingham School are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
At around 10.50pm on Sunday 7 March 2021 an alarm was heard sounding at the school in Harding’s Lane. It was subsequently reported that damage had been caused to a window and door and a large tent peg was found, having apparently been used in an attempt to force entry.
A weight was also used to weigh down a barrier.
The offenders are described as a white male suspect, around five feet seven inches tall and of slim build who was wearing an orange hooded top and a female suspect who was around five feet two inches tall and was wearing a blue parka coat with the hood up and light blue denim ripped jeans.
