Children across the city returned to school on Wednesday.
However, for the learners of Primrose Hill and Primrose primary schools, it wasn’t all good news.
The schools were both left devastated following holiday robberies.
“We are currently investigating two cases of business burglary, one at Primrose Hill Primary School and one at Primrose Primary School,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
