Someone broke into Violetville Elementary-Middle School in southwest Baltimore overnight, and police said they might have a lead.Police said the school's principal discovered damage when she showed up on campus Thursday. She found water on on all three floors of the building, from classrooms to the cafeteria, after the culprits apparently set off the sprinkler system.City school officials are assessing the damage."It's a mess," Baltimore City schools COO Keith Scroggins said. "They were able to flood the school, and they were also able to open up fire extinguishers, spraying them around the office and other areas."WBAL-TV 11 News obtained security camera images showing at least three potential culprits with their faces covered.Residents said the crime that took place is not the first."We had these windows broken into here several days ago," said Natasha Bock-Singleton, with the Violetville Community Association.Some Violetville residents who live near the school said it was only a matter of time before vandals would strike again."This is the second time this school has been broken into. We've tried very hard to work with the local police and the city school police in order to get them out here to increase security," Bock-Singleton said.The break-in forced the district to shut down at least two summer school programs held inside the building. The Bell summer program will go on as planned Friday at Violetville, and breakfast and lunch will be served."This is one of our great schools. We renovated this school in 2011. It was opened to a lot of fanfare. The community really does a good job in helping to keep the school up and protect the school," Scroggins said."This is a beautiful school building," Bock-Singleton said. "It's fairly new."A disaster response team has been on site assessing the damage. For now, the school system can't say how much it will cost to make repairs.Administrators are concerned about getting the building back into shape before students return to class at the end of the month.Police said they're counting on nearby residents and surveillance pictures to help them solve the case.Get the WBAL-TV News App
