Officials are on the hunt for a trio of burglars who targeted a charter school in the Olney section of the city Friday.
The three men were caught on surveillance video breaking into the Eugenio Maria De Hostos Charter School on the 4300 block of North 5th Street around 9:45 p.m., according to investigators.
The men allegedly stole an undisclosed amount of money as well as four computers. Thomas Darden, the school’s security supervisor also told NBC10 they caused significant damage to the school, leaving behind ransacked rooms and broken doors.
"We're gonna be repairing that this weekend," Darden said. "We're incurring some costs for that obviously. We also are gonna incur some costs for beefing up our security. We are going to do a number of things and we'll have to really be sure very quickly that we get that under control. This weekend we're taking some steps to be sure that next week children are safe and staff feel secure in the building."
If you have any information on the burglary or the identity of any of the suspects, please call Philadelphia Police.
