Larnaca vandals targeted yet another primary school during the early hours of yesterday, reports said.

The Drosias Primary School was targeted yet again by unknown assailants who this time caused over €5,000 worth of damage to a contractor’s equipment. Apparently the man had been hired to carry out upgrade works on the school.

Preliminary investigations suggest the vandals had tried to operate the machinery and then failing to do so, had broken it. The smashed equipment was found by the contractor himself when he went by the school to work yesterday morning.

This is not the first time the school has been targeted as it does not have private security. Although the Parents Association has repeatedly asked for guards, their request has been turned down on the grounds that the school is protected by a high fence. But apparently the fencing has been removed in some places facilitating anyone’s access to the property.

According to reports the contractor is expected to seek compensation for the damage incurred to his machinery.
