Police noticed a vehicle parked in the playground area of Manaugh School. Since the area is blocked off and there is no way for a vehicle to get inside, they began to investigate. They noticed that the double gate on the west side of the building had been destroyed and it appeared that someone attempted to drive this vehicle through the gate. The vehicle was empty but police were able to contact the owner of the vehicle. The owners of the vehicle were asleep and said that they might have left the keys in the vehicle. The owners took the vehicle home and said they would contact their insurance to get a quote on the damage. Manaugh School will also get an estimate for the damages to the gate. There are no further leads as to who took the vehicle and drove it through the gate.
