Vandals who broke into a high school in Inuvik, N.W.T. last weekend caused an estimated $50,000 in damage, RCMP said Thursday.
Sometime on Saturday night, vandals invaded Samuel Hearne Secondary School through an open back window and trashed the music room and shop room.
They poured paint on floors, walls and equipment, smashed musical instruments and destroyed computers. They also flooded the school's foyer with water and set off fire extinguishers.
Staff were continuing to clean up the building on Thursday.
Damage to other buildings in the area may be related to the school break-in, the RCMP said.
The Mounties are asking anyone with information on the crime to come forward.
