Burglars and vandals broke into about 44 schools over Memorial Day weekend, including about a dozen in the San Fernando Valley, stealing items ranging from computers to classroom supplies, Los Angeles Unified School District officials said Wednesday.
Among the schools hit was Zane Grey High School in Reseda, which had a computer stolen, Lt. Javier Ruiz of the district police said.
Ruiz said long weekends frequently lead to burglaries of LAUSD schools.
This weekend spree, he added, “wasn’t that bad.”
