With a reward fund totaling nearly $4,400, the Port Orford/Langlois School District is offering more details about vandalism at Pacific High School, in an effort to catch the perpetrators.

Police have few leads and are hoping people in the community step forward and help solve the case, Superintendent Mick Lane said in a press release.

Last week, someone broke into the school at Langlois three times, stealing laptop computers and severely damaging the woodshop. The damage forced the school to close Wednesday.

On Oct. 5, the maintenance team discovered someone had entered a locked water system area at the school and broke pipes and a gauge, temporarily disabling the water supply. The following night, vandals attacked the system again.

On Oct. 7, the head custodian discovered water coming from beneath doors in the shop area, and that a fire had been deliberately set in the woodshop. The sprinkler system activated and, according to Fire Chief Wayne Moore, saving the school.

Burglars also went into the computer lab in the vocational area, vandalizing the room and stealing all the new laptops. They then doused the wood shop with gallons of lacquer thinner and ignited it, causing extensive damage to several pieces of equipment, materials and student projects. The sprinkler system worked, but it caused heavy smoke and water damage to the shop and adjacent art room.

An Oregon State Police arson detective is helping with the investigation. The extent of the damage and missing items have yet to be determined, the press release said.

Teachers led the fundraising effort, starting the fund with $765. The School Board added another $1,000, as did the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative and NC Electronics of Port Orford. Youngs Construction added another $500.

Police are asking anyone with information to call Curry County Crimestoppers at (888) 974-0000 or the Curry County Sheriff’s Office at (800) 543-8471. The names of people reporting information will be kept anonymous.
