CITIZEN STAFF REPORT

WARFIELD — Warfield Elementary School will lock all school gates after hours in response to a rise in unauthorized activities on school property.

School officials announced Monday on social media that the decision follows incidents of individuals dropping off animals, riding motorcycles on sidewalks and vandalizing school grounds.

“Trespassing onto school property, including the playground area and parking lot, is strictly prohibited after hours and will lead to prosecution,” the statement reads.

Officials said they are reviewing security camera footage and working with law enforcement to “stop all criminal activities and ensure the safety and security of the premises.”
