Po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing acts of van­dal­ism at the Cara­pichaima West Sec­ondary School dur­ing the Re­pub­lic Day hol­i­day on Wednes­day night.

An es­tate con­sta­ble with the Na­tion­al Main­te­nance Train­ing and Se­cu­ri­ty Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed (MTS) was on du­ty at the school around 11:00 p.m. when he re­port­ed­ly heard nois­es com­ing from the north­ern side of the com­pound. Af­ter check­ing the area, he found noth­ing un­usu­al.

When he re­turned to his se­cu­ri­ty booth, how­ev­er, he dis­cov­ered that 16 pages from an MTS desk di­ary had been torn out and de­faced with pen mark­ings.
