In a worrying turn of events, the community of the Las Toldas village, in the municipality of Guarne, has reported the occurrence of repetitive robberies at their local school. This year, the Educational Center has been the victim of three thefts, the most recent being the theft of food intended for the school feeding program, as well as work tools from a contractor.
Local authorities have expressed their concern and have taken measures to address this alarming situation. During the last incident, the criminals entered the educational facilities, stripping the students of the products that are vital for their nutrition. According to teachers’ testimonies, the place where these foods were stored was found completely unoccupied.
The first robbery was recorded at the beginning of the year, and since then, the community has been on high alert. The situation has generated a mix of frustration and fear among parents and educators, who feel that the safety of students is at risk. “We received a call from citizens informing us of the situation that occurred at the school,” commented a teacher who preferred not to be identified.
In addition to food, on this occasion the criminals also stole tools that were used for the remodeling of the campus facilities. This fact has left the educational community without the necessary resources to continue with the planned improvements, affecting the quality of education.
Faced with this situation, local authorities, together with the Police, have decided to reinforce patrols in the area. “Starting today, hand in hand with the station commander, we are going to increase surveillance in this area and throughout the municipality,” said a representative of the Guarne Mayor’s Office.
The authorities have called on the community to remain vigilant and actively collaborate with the police. The idea is to create a common front that allows the protection not only of the students, but also of the resources that are allocated for their well-being. “Safety in our schools is paramount. “Parents should be vigilant and report any suspicious activity,” they added.
According to recent data, reports of robberies in schools have increased by 25% compared to the previous year, which has generated great concern among authorities and citizens.
It is important to mention that the school feeding program, which benefits numerous students in the region, has been seriously affected by these thefts. The loss of food not only impacts the students who depend on it, but also represents a waste of resources intended for education.
