The Huntersville Police Department said a white Ford F-150 pickup truck was seen entering the school along Hambright Road around 6:12 a.m. on August 4. Security footage shows the vehicle leaving about 40 minutes later, at 6:50 a.m., with a stolen cement mixer in tow, police said.

Around the same time, Huntersville Fire responded to a fire on the school’s property. The fire damaged a building containing sports equipment belonging to the school.

Thankfully, fire crews were able to quickly control the blaze, and no injuries were reported. The fire did, however, destroy sports gear used by students.
