(UPDATED) Craignish Village school ransacked, mystery sanitary pad on wall

Someone broke into a south Trinidad primary school, ransacked administrative offices and stuck a sanitary pad on a wall.

Police said, on the unused pad were the words "P6Ps Gang." Investigators were trying to find out the significance of the words, saying as far as they are aware no such gang exists in the area.

The discovery was made at about 7 am on Thursday at the Princes Town Presbyterian No 2 Primary School at Gopaul Bypass Road in Craignish Village. A worker arrived on the compound, saw doors pried open and cabinet drawers open. Documents and several envelopes were scattered on the ground and tables. One envelope had the words, "special concessions 2020" and another, "results of march past."

Police also found a spanner/wrench on a table near a box of tools and two partially bitten ice-cream cones.

The canteen was also said to have been ransacked.

Police are also trying to find out what, if anything, had been stolen.

No one has been arrested.

When Newsday visited the school on Thursday, security officers did not allow access to the compound. Princes Town police in plain clothes were still on the scene gathering evidence.

The school, which operates on a shift system, also houses students of the Princes Town Presbyterian No 1 Primary School. The latter’s building was declared unfit for use in 2015 and later demolished.

Since then, parents and PTA members have been protesting calling for the school to be rebuilt as soon as possible.
