they took the school’s pets

M y granddaughter attends a special needs school, but some burglars took the school’s pets, including the birds. Their therapeutic benefit has been incalculable, and the kids are devastated. Any idea who these people are?

Dear Susan

Susan, 48, Walsall A couple of young men who had a connection to the school got in via the back – they know a few of the pupils. They’ve sold on their ill-gotten haul. A kind member of the public will give a large donation, which will enable the school to replace its menagerie. The kids will then have their calming companionship back.
