CRUEL thieves have stolen children's iPads from Marston Green Junior School.
An entire trolley of the devices had been emptied during the late night burglary earlier this week.
The culprits had broken in between 2.00 and 2.40am in the early hours of Tuesday morning (July 2).
In a letter sent out to parents, headteacher Lynn Clarke said she was "appalled".
"Having viewed our CCTV, the perpetrator came well prepared with bolt-cutters and it is very clear that they had an excellent knowledge of the school premises.
"As a result, some classes have been unable to do their computing lesson today.
"It is disappointing for parents to know that valuable equipment purchased for their children has been stolen and it is evident from CCTV that it is an adult in our community who knows the layout of the school."
Police have attended the scene to review the footage and take fingerprints.
In the wake of the break-in, there has been a flood of condemnation on social media.
One resident dubbed the culprits "the lowest of the low", while another said: "It takes a special kind of scumbag to steal from a school in these times of austerity."
Ms Clarke urged anyone with information about the theft to contact officers if they had any information or heard about cheap iPads being offered for sale.
If you have suspicions call Solihull Police on 101.
