CHICAGO (CBS) — Police are investigating after a break-in at a public elementary school in the East Garfield Park neighborhood.

A maintenance worker at Leif Ericson Elementary Scholastic Academy, at 3600 W. Fifth Ave. on the eastern edge of the park of Garfield Park, noticed broken windows in the magnet school’s main office and principal’s office around 6:15 a.m., police said.

Police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said file cabinets and drawers were opened and turned over in the two offices.
