SCHOOL boys allegedly used a piece of wood to smash their way into the Carrum Seaford Scout hall and steal a kayak, 1pm, Wednesday 24 May.
A man working on his house in Whatley St, Carrum, said he heard noises in the hall but thought it was being caused by workmen. Going outside he saw five boys aged 14-15 in school uniform carrying the $500 kayak along Whatley St.
When he yelled out to them they ran towards Patterson Lakes Secondary College.
A nearby club member said repairs to the one-metre by two-metre hole in the club house’s asbestos wall will cost $1000.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or provide a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au
