Families of youths involved in vandalising a Northland school have stepped in to help with the clean up.
Senior Sergeant Brian Swann, of Northland police, said serious vandalism at Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Kaikohe school was reported to police yesterday.
Police went to the school and found three classrooms which had been significantly vandalised.
Mr Swann said members of the community were disgusted at the level of destruction and a number of images were posted on local Facebook pages by the public.
