TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A preschool in Marana has become a target for break-ins and vandalism.

PAL Preschool Center for special education was vandalized and broken into over the weekend. The school is located off Old Father road.

Workers there say it's the sixth break-in they've had since April.

Over the weekend, vandals broke into classrooms, destroying several of them and set off fire extinguishers.

KGUN 9 reached out to the Marana Unified School District regarding the break in.

The school district said they will be increasing security, fencing, adding more security cameras and will be working with the Pima County Sheriff's Department to find the suspects involved.

In the mean time, the school is taking donations to help replace books, toys and craft supplies that were damaged.
