The St. Joseph Police Department is investigating after break-ins overnight at Bode Middle School and the Aquatic Park.
Officer Mike Hardin with the St. Joseph Police Department said locks were broken at both locations overnight in an effort to gain entry.
The number of suspects is currently unknown, but Hardin said Bode Middle School located at 720 Noyes Blvd. was broken into for a burglary attempt sometime between midnight and 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
“They broke into the outside concession area of the Bode soccer field,” Hardin said.
It’s unknown if the Bode incident is tied to a burglary attempt at the Aquatic Park located just down the road at 402 S. Noyes which also took place sometime overnight.
Hardin said both the office and concession area of the pool were broken into. Locks were broken, a screen cut, and metal covering a window was cut.
He said currently nothing is believed missing from either location. Also, nothing appeared to have been vandalized.
Police are looking into the possibility of surveillance footage and the investigation is ongoing.
