The Gunnersbury Park campus of Capel Manor College in West London was recently the target of a heartbreaking incident. It was reported that two boys, aged 11 and 12, broke into the college and caused damage to several animal enclosures. The young boys were later arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty and burglary, but have since been released on bail.
The college, which prides itself as London's environmental college, offers its students the opportunity to work on various estates, gardens, farms, and zoos. Unfortunately, the recent break-in resulted in the deaths of several animals and damage to their habitats. Among the casualties was a beloved barn owl named Shiraz, who has been missing since the incident.
The Metropolitan Police were alerted to the situation on Sunday, February 25th and immediately launched an investigation. They were able to obtain CCTV footage and conduct a forensic examination of the scene. Meanwhile, the college released a statement expressing their sadness over the incident and assuring the public that they are working closely with the police to find the culprits.
In the statement, the college also mentioned that the safety of their staff, students, and animals is their top priority. As a precaution, they have deployed additional security staff on the campus and are cooperating with the ongoing investigation. The college's principal, Peter Brammall, also expressed his gratitude to the hardworking staff who have been working tirelessly to restore the damage caused by the intruders.
As a result of the incident, classes at the college were held online on Monday before resuming on campus the following day. The college has promised to bring in new animals in the coming weeks to replace those that were lost. In the meantime, the public is encouraged to stay updated on the situation by visiting The Agency's London news hub.
