Police hunt for vandals who caused $40,000 worth of damage at Queensland school
Disgusting scenes have been revealed at Coolnwynpin State School in Capalaba as stunned staff and students returned from their school holidays to find their buildings trashed.
A series of images released by police show how the classrooms have been wrecked by vandals over the long weekend.
The pictures show numerous smashed windows in a number of rooms inside the Queensland school.
The images reveal food and paint thrown over furniture and walls inside various classrooms at the school.
Water taps had also been turned on and had eventually flooded a number of classrooms causing widespread water damage.
Today much of the mess has since been cleaned up, however, certain parts of the school are still out of bounds to staff and students due to the extent of the damage.
School staff, builders and cleaners worked hard to ensure all students were able to safely return for the start of term 4.
The damage to the school has been estimated at more than $40,000.
Officers believe the school on Telaska Court in Capalaba was broken into between 6pm on Friday and 4pm on Sunday.
A forensic examination of the facility has been completed and police have located a number of fingerprints.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
