TWO data projectors worth £1,000 have been stolen on consecutive nights at Hollins Technology College, Accrington.

The equipment, which generates big-screen displays for lessons, was taken after an offender scaled a 10-foot fence and smashed a window.

The raids took place on Sunday and late on Monday.

Headteacher Mark Jackson said: "These burglaries have caused a lot of disruption at the school and money will have to be taken away from other projects to ensure that the projectors can be replaced."
