Investigations are continuing after £10,000 worth of damage was caused during burglaries at a Lancaster school and £10,000 worth of items were stolen as well as the school minibus.
Police are continuing to investigate after three men were seen on CCTV breaking into Ripley St Thomas school.
A total of around £10,000 worth of damage was caused and a further £10,000 worth of items were stolen, including laptops and tools. A school van was also stolen.
There had been a report of two burglaries at the school, received by police at 9am on Sunday May 8.
Then at around 4.40pm on Sunday police received a report that the stolen school van had been seen being driven erratically in the Dallas Road area of Lancaster.
The van was located by police and the driver of the van was asked to stop.
The police used a taser after the situation escalated and the man escaped on foot. After a short chase he was arrested on Lindow Street.
The van was recovered, along with several thousands of pounds worth of items.
A Lancaster man has since been charged with criminal damage and was due to appear at Blackpool Magistrates' Court today (Tuesday).
You can hear Det Sgt Adie Knowles giving an update on this incident on Beyond Radio tonight after 6pm.
