Two schools and a church have been broken
into this week, with suspects using rocks and
crucifixes to get into the buildings
Essex police say burglars are targeting schools and
churches to play violent video game Grand Theft Auto
V.
Thieves are breaking into schools and churches across
Chelmsford to steal projectors, which can be used to
play the video games.
Two schools - Boswells School and Boreham Primary
School - have had their windows smashed in this week.
St Andrew’s Church vestry door has also been smashed
with three crucifixes.
“Police think they’re targeting projectors to project
Grand Theft Auto,” said Boreham primary head teacher
Ian Bowyer.
“As a head teacher I am staggered at the ages some
parents let kids play the game at,” the father-of-three
told the Essex Chronicle.
“We had an e-safety meeting with staff the very same
day and it was made very clear to us children as young
as six were using it. This is shocking and this comes out in
these children’s writing, how they speak and how they
behave with other children.
“All they want to do is play with guns and all they want to
write about is guns and violence .”
The Boswells School headteacher David Crowe added:
“It wouldn’t surprise if that was the motivation. They’d
just project it onto the wall.”
The 18-certificate game was released to eager fans on
September 17, and has received worldwide critical
acclaim.
It is set to become one of the most successful games of
all time, making more than £1 billion in the first three
days of sales alone .
In GTA5 you control a trio of criminals and take part in
several heists and crime sprees.
The latest reported burglaries follow a string of more
than 40 incidents in Chelmsford this month alone.
