Burglary at Te Pou Oranga o Whākatohea ki Buchanan Street/Old Arthouse

Kathleen from Opotiki District

Today we arrived at our preschool to find some low life had stolen from our babies. They had broken into the shed at the old Art House and stole a childs couch. The perpetrators had came back today between the hours of 9.30am and 1.30pm and stole two big clear click clack boxes of art supplies(including, match sticks, pom poms, ice block sticks(coloured) paint, etc) and the matching chair for the couch. I am asking parents, nannies, koro's, and all whānau/family's to keep an eye out for these. If any of your whānau/family or kids have come home with these or you have seen these furniture or art supplies I ask that you report them to the police or drop the furniture and supplies off at Te Pou Oranga o Whākatohea ki Buchanan Street/Te Aria toka preschool.
Earlychildhood education is for the benefit of all our tamariki and whānau of the Whākatohea rohe and this is just another setback for our preschool that we don't need. So everyone please keep your eyes and ears open. Thank you. Here is a picture of the couch and chair that were stolen are covered in dark brown vinyl.
