Kaikohe's top cop is dismayed that not one person called police when vandals smashed 16 windows at Kaikohe West School recently.
Senior Sergeant Brian Swann said he could not believe that no one had heard the attack on the school, yet no one alerted police.
The attack on the school was particularly concerning because of the effect it had on the pupils.
Police were able to give them some reassurance through a visit to the Kaikohe station, he said.
Only a handful of calls had been received about other damage and offending around town.
