THE PRINCIPAL AT MOUNTAIN MAHOGANY COMMUNITY SCHOOL NEAR 4TH AND GRIEGOS IN ALBUQUERQUE'S NORTH VALLEY SAYS SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS WERE INSTALLED AT THE SCHOOL JUST HOURS BEFORE VANDALS SET A SHED ON FIRE. VANDALS ALSO SPRAYED THE BUILDING WITH GRAPHIC GRAFFITI OVER THE WEEKEND. PRINCIPAL BAYLOR DEL ROSARIO SAYS THE VIDEO IS PROVING TO BE VERY HELPFUL AS IT SHOWS THE SUSPECTS SETTING PAPER ON FIRE AND DESTROYING PROPERTY.
THIS WAS THE SIXTH TIME THIS YEAR THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN VANDALIZED. MOUNTAIN MAHOGANY HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR NINE YEARS, BUT ONLY WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS HAS VANDALISM BECOME A REAL PROBLEM.
THE LATEST INCIDENT OVER THE WEEKEND HAD CLASSES CANCELLED AT MOUNTAIN MAHOGANY SCHOOL ON MONDAY, BUT STUDENTS ARE BACK IN SCHOOL ON TUESDAY.
