ALTO — Wednesday morning was a busy one in Alto and for the Cherokee County Sheriffs Department. Sheriff James Campbell said there were two burglaries and one attempted burglary in Alto and a disturbance outside the city limits. He said all of them occurred between 3:00 and 4:00 Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
The Alto High School was broken into around 3:15 a.m., said Ray DeSpain, Alto ISD superintendent. He said the locks to the front doors were jimmied open, and doors to the principal and administrative offices were pried open with a crowbar. The band hall, cafeteria and a few classrooms were targeted as well. The culprits stole a couple of hundred dollars in petty cash and funds from fundraising. Vandalism to the school will also cost a few hundred dollars to fix. It’s the third break-in at the high school since spring.<\/p>\n
The Dairy Queen was also broken into. And there was an attempted break-in at Dollar General. Authorities believe all the burglaries were done by the same people. The entire Alto Police Department was placed on furlough June 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
