The Bronx (11/28/2010) - Police say a burglary Sunday at a Catholic school in the Bronx may be connected to a string of similar crimes at churches over the past month.
In total, three churches and two Catholic schools have been hit, the most recent Sunday night.
Police say the burglar broke in through a gymnasium window at Our Lady of Refuge School in Bedford Park before 7:30 p.m.
In addition to two laptops, a scanner, and a digital video camera, more than a thousand dollars in cash was stolen -- a portion of which was going to be used to take kindergartners to see a musical at Lehman College.
The principal of the school says she feels violated.
"It's very difficult because when you steal from the school you're really stealing from the children and a lot of the children are on scholarship and so they really can't afford too much and so whatever extra money I have is to purchase things for them. A pair of shoes, a coat, pair of glasses, and that's who gonna go to," said Our Lady of Refuge School Principal Marivel Colon.
Police suspect two burglars were involved.
The other incidents all took place between November 6th and Thanksgiving.
