This particular school complex has fallen many times a “victim” of sophisticated criminals who see his equipment as prey for theft.
Specifically, in October 2022, unknown persons had invaded the 10th High School over a weekend in October and had an air conditioner removed, with the theft becoming known on the first day classes were back.
Even earlier, in 2012, thieves had broken into the office of the then principal of the same high school which is located on the coast of Dymaia. Then they had taken the computer that accepted the subjects of the Panhellenic exams and also one of the secretarial support systems.
All these incidents, as well as others that have happened from time to time in other schools, raise questions about whether there should be better security of the school complexes of Patras.
