Update: Elementary school looted multiple times for desktop computers

Ten desktop computers have been stolen from an Ypsilanti Community Schools building in an overnight burglary, according to the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.

Police believe the suspect or suspects got into Holmes Elementary School at 1255 Holmes Road in Ypsilanti by breaking a classroom window. The burglary likely occurred between 10 p.m. Monday and 1 a.m. Tuesday.

The computers were discovered missing early Tuesday morning by a security guard that checked the school.

The Sheriff's Office does not have any suspects at this time.

Holmes Elementary was one of three buildings in the YCS district that had significant problems last week with freezing, bursting pipes in the subzero weather.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office confidential tip line at (734) 973-7711 or 1-800-SPEAK UP.
