Pair charged with Footscray school burglary

Two men have been charged after an alleged burglary at a school in Footscray early on Monday morning.

Police responded to reports of a burglary at the Barkly Street school at about 12.20am on 20 October.

Officers with assistance from the police dog unit quickly arrived at the location where they discovered a door jammed open and damaged.

A quick search of the school resulted in two men being found inside one of the buildings, with one of them allegedly in possession of a computer screen and a speaker.

A 46-year-old man and a 39-year-old man, both from Footscray, were arrested and later charged with burglary.

The pair were bailed to appear before the Sunshine Magistrate’s Court on 9 February, 2026.
