Hoke Co. High hit by vandals By Ed Miller For the second time this year, Hoke High school's windows have been broken out by vandals. Raeford Police Chief Leonard Wiggins reported that six plate glass windows were broken out of the building last Friday night, but broken glass is not the only man ner in which Hoke High suffers from childish pranks. "I have gone out to the school many times at night and on weekends and found kids on the buildings and running around," Hoke High Assistant Principal Locky McDonald said. There have been numerous occa sions when the school has had to have shingles and electrical wiring repaired or replaced from children playing on the buildings, McDonald said. It will probably go on until someone gets hurt, McDonald said. The six plate glass windows was just the last in a string of "juvenile mischief" that has plagued the school in the past several months. "The majority of the people seen on the roofs were very young," McDonald said. Ages range from four or five up, he said. In an unrelated matter, Edith Hadding reported a breaking, entering and larceny to her residence to Raeford Police. Intruders took a television set, some jewelry and and an AM-FM cassette, 8-track digital clock radio,, Wiggins said. Although police have a possible suspect, no arrests have been made in the case; however, all the pro perty stolen in the robbery has been recovered, Wiggins said. The value of the stolen articles was placed at $775. In another matter, last Monday an attemped breaking and entering was found at the Four County Headstart Center by sheriffs deputies. Nothing was taken in the at tempt and damage could not be estimated because the door on which the attempt was made was too badly damaged in a previous break-in to tell whether a great deal of harm was done this time, reports say. A breaking and entering and damage to real property was reported to the cabin of Jimmy Bunce on September 27, sheriffs reports say. According to reports, a brick was thrown through a window of the cabin. The brick hit and knock ed off a bed post. Damage was reported at $200 for the window and $100 for the bed. In another matter, an apparent theft which occurred on September 28, was reported to Raeford Police on last Thursday. McLauchlin Hardware and Lock Company reported that a used chainsaw that generally sits on display in the store is missing. "Someone probably picked it up and walked out the back door with it," Chief Wiggins said. The saw was valued at $300, he said. Jackson's FMA reported the theft of a Fayettevilie Observer newspaper box from its premises. There was no value of the box on the crime report.
