Heartless and disgusting is how police have described the trashing of a south Auckland pre-school. Over the weekend, someone broke into the Ōtara Community Pre-school and smashed the place up, breaking windows, destroying the microwave and tossing computers on the ground. Police say it is the kids who are now missing out, Counties Manukau East Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Rakana Cook spoke to Lisa Owen.
