Benton City Schools $100,000 in Computers Cables Vandalism

Benton City Schools $100,000 in Computers Cables Vandalism
School Attack | Sabotage Incidents

Benton City Schools $100,000 in Computers Cables Vandalism Monday October 28, 2013 In Kiona Benton City schools in Washington, vandals tripped alarms at 4 p.m. but maintenance people went to the wrong building. Monday they found that vandals broke into the server closet and smashed the servers with sledgehammers in the district’s former administrative building, stabbed flat screen monitors, cut and pulled wires, leaving some schools without telephones, internet, computers or security. The damage was estimated at $100,000 as administrators scrambled to make repairs.

This resembles the cable theft attack that caused an explosion in UC Berkeley and attacks on communications towers, substations, power grid and optic fiber hubs, and would be consistent with a small scale sabotage attack.

    North Escambia County Florida
    omeone broke into the school on Highway 97 between about 4:30 Friday afternoon and 5:30 p.m. Saturday when the crime was discovered by a teacher. Surveillance video shows two people running down a hallway at 9:17 p.m.
    Thousands of dollars worth of electronics were stolen from throughout the school, including Apple computers, iPads, Wii gaming systems, cameras used by the school’s student-operated closed circuit TV station, along with other items  [extensive building damage]
    comment: There is no way those two kids took that many items and left on bicycles. They may have done the leg work, but someone older with knowledge of how to enter, exit and transport had to be there.

    OAK PARK – An Oak Park teen was arrested ...school where vandals smashed computers, broke windows and flooded all the rooms. The boy, 17, was arrested Wednesday night at the former Academy of Oak Park, a charter elementary school at 21700 Marlow.
    The school, south of Nine Mile and east of Greenfield, has been closed for a couple of years. Police are waiting for an estimate of damages, which are expected to be significant.
    Several break-ins at the school have been reported in recent weeks. Vandals wrecked a number of items at the school one day before the Oak Park suspect was arrested, police said.
    “On Tuesday they completely destroyed the inside of the building,” said Oak Park Public Safety Lt. Samantha Kretzschmar. “There were multiple broken windows, fire extinguishers were deployed, the computers were broken and there was standing water everywhere. There was damage in every room.”

    Eight video cameras, six digital still cameras and a speaker system were all taken from one room, Salado said. Additionally, vandals used a hammer to smash two computer monitors.
    In June 2009, the school was hit by young vandals twice over a two-day period, Salado said. They splattered paint around several rooms and set off fire extinguishers, which left 60 computers damaged so badly they had to be replaced. The suspects were caught when they came back to the campus a second night to continue the vandalism, he said.
