TWO Amandawe schools were robbed last week.
In the early hours of last Friday morning, the guard on duty at one of the schools was confronted by four men who were armed with firearms and hammers.
They threatened the guard and took him to the principal’s block where he was tied up.
The men broke the burglar gate and door to gain entry into the principal’s office.

A hammer was used to break through the wall and enter the strongroom from which cash and two cell phones were stolen.
Later that morning, the principal entering the second school premises found the burglar gate and door to the administration block open.
The principal then discovered that two classrooms had been broken into and that televisions and electronic equipment stolen.
