Burglars broke into school, cooked dinner in canteen, then pulled Christmas crackers

Police are investigating a burglary where someone broke into a primary school and stole a large quantity of meat and fish from the freezers in the canteen, before cooking and eating the food.

The burglars complimented their meal with apple juice from the store cupboard and helped themselves to ice cream for dessert, at Sennybridge Primary School in Sennybridge, Powys, Wales.



They also pulled a stash of Christmas crackers they found before making-off. A spokesman for Dyfed-Powys Police said: “This is an unusual burglary as the offenders gained entry to the premises, and once inside went to the canteen.

“A large quantity of meat and fish was removed from the freezer, cooked in the oven at the premises and then eaten on plates using cutlery from the canteen. Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious, or anyone with any information, is asked to call police.” The break-in happened sometime between Friday, July 18, and Sunday, July 27, but the details have only now been made public.
