A highly unusual break-in at a grammar school in Klæbu resulted in a bit of mental exercise. The burglar(s) did not appear to be out after material gain. Instead of stealing, the intruder(s) sat down and began to solve the math problems intended for third grade students, newspaper Adresseavisen reports.
According to local law enforcement officials a good job was done and all of the problems were solved correctly.
There has been nothing reported missing or stolen from the school building and it remains a mystery how the intruder or intruders gained access to the school.

You laugh, but this is serious. He stole some grade school kid's education.

These crimes are multiplying exponentially. I hope they set a trapezoid for the perp, and broadcast a description on the police ratio.

I wonder what this guy’s angle was? Are there any prime suspects?
