Troisdorf elementary school vandalized with high six-figure damages

Unknown perpetrators caused extensive damage to an elementary school in Troisdorf-Spich, located in the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis district of North Rhine-Westphalia. The vandalism, discovered by the school caretaker on a Monday morning, is estimated to have caused damages in the high six-figure range.

According to police reports, the destruction included several classrooms, the gymnasium, and various pieces of technology. Specific damages reported include broken Smartboards, smashed window panes and glass doors, and vandalized iPad storage cabinets. Walls were also defaced with graffiti.

Significant water damage occurred after perpetrators left faucets running and clogged toilets and sinks, leading to flooding in multiple classrooms. This flooding reportedly damaged parts of the building's electrical systems. While the extent of the destruction is massive, authorities are still investigating whether any items were stolen. Police believe the intruders likely entered through a broken window and are currently processing numerous traces found at the scene.
