Break in today at old Bishopdale library. The upstairs area is now completely trashed.
This afternoon I promptly alerted the Police when I recognised there was major Breakin in progress at this large and severely earthquake damaged Christchurch City Council owned (now closed and quite dangerous) building. As when walking closeby I was surprised to see all the interior lights suddenly turned on (the second floor) and then a dry powder fire extinguisher being blasted out of an opened window. This gave a clear indication in certain forms of ongoing and distinctly unusual activity. However I then noted the security fence surrounding the new complex currently being built had been forced wide open. When I realised this allowed free access to the rear of this building (which was not even padlocked) I felt quite sure this required immediate and further investigation. The police response was absolutely amazing (very quick) and it appears the offenders (believe two local kids) left in quite a hurry (on a bike and a small kids scooter) and escaped being caught. The police noted the entire upstairs of this building is now completely trashed. A grave concern is the total failure of ensuring the security of this dangerous building for serious safety reasons.
