School ransacked but safe does its job

An unsuccessful attempt was made to gain access to the safe at Thomas Magnet School, Tate Avenue, over the weekend, Shelbyville police said Tuesday.

School officials said $50 was taken from the School Age Care Program office and three sets of keys to the building are missing, according to Officer Josh Leverette's report.

Power was cut to parts of the building and the door to a room housing the safe was beaten, police said.

Office and classroom desks were ransacked, food was eaten in the cafeteria and candy taken from classrooms, a label machine was used and cigarettes smoked throughout the building, the report said.

Police said it would be impossible to determine if anything else was taken from desks until teachers return Sept. 8.

Entry was gained through an open door, police said.

Tailgate taken

The tailgate and reverse camera were stolen between 7 and 10:30 p.m. Monday from a 2008 Ford F-450 King Ranch pickup truck at the Celebration cash parking lot along Celebration Drive, police said.

Radios stolen

Radio/CD players were stolen over the weekend from two boats and two trucks at Pirtle & Howerton Automotive, North Main Street, Shelbyville police said Tuesday.

The boats were located behind the dealership, police said, while both trucks -- one left for repairs and the other one taken in through the Cash for Clunkers program -- were entered by breaking windows.
