Maricopa Police investigating break-in at high school

The Maricopa Police Department is investigating a break-in that occurred at Maricopa High School early this morning.

School officials are saying a suspect or suspects gained entrance into the 200 building on the Maricopa High School campus at approximately 2:20 a.m. Several administrative assistants’ desks were damaged.

“We are not sure yet what, if anything, is missing,” said Tom Beckett, district spokesperson. MPD and school officials are assessing property damage and loss.

Maricopa United School District recently installed several surveillance cameras throughout the high school campus, and police are looking at those tapes in an attempt to find clues.
