THOUSANDS of pounds worth of computer equipment was stolen from Stroud and South Gloucestershire College’s music department in the early hours of Monday morning, December 9.
Six Apple iMac desktop computers, four Microsoft computer mice and two keyboards were stolen from the college’s campus in Stratford Road by thieves who made off in a van.
The SNJ understands that the offenders broke a window using a pole to gain entry to the building and once inside took just three minutes to steal approximately £12,000 worth of hardware.
Police have launched an appeal for information about the break-in, which occurred at around 12.30am.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Gloucestershire Police on 101, quoting incident number 7 of December 9.
