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.

“I am keen to hear from anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the area of the school on the night of Sunday 7 March 2021 or who has any information as to who might be responsible.”
