Authorities are currently probing a significant theft incident at Mary E. Pigott Primary School, where a teacher’s purse containing thousands of dollars and critical government documents was stolen. The incident unfolded on the afternoon of Thursday, October 2, 2025, around 1 p.m. According to police reports, the teacher had left her handbag in the school’s Literacy Room while she attended a parent-teacher meeting in the yard. Upon her return, she discovered the purse was missing. The stolen items included $7,000 in cash, several Treasury cheques, government identification cards, and other personal belongings. A 12-year-old student who was present in the room at the time reported seeing a man wearing a blue surgical mask enter the room, approach the teacher’s bag, and then leave. Despite conducting interviews and extensive searches of the area, law enforcement has yet to recover the stolen items. The investigation remains active as officers continue to pursue leads in this high-stakes case.
