Police believe the break-in happened between 6 and 7:45 p.m. Wednesday.

“We’ve got it on video and we’ve already turned that over to police,” said Troy City Schools Superintendent Lee Hicks.

Hicks said no computers or televisions were taken. A couple of items from a vending machine and three juice boxes out of a six-pack were all that seemed to be missing Thursday.

“Unfortunately, this is something that occurs during the summertime because people believe no one will be at the schools,” Hicks said.

Police are asking anyone with information about the crime to call 566-0500, or the Secret Witness Line at 566-5555.
