RCMP have arrested a man in connection with a break-in at the school in the northern Labrador community of Natuashish this weekend.
Police say the incident was reported on Saturday. Surveillance video shows two masked men at the scene, one with an axe and the other with an iron bar.
According to police, the pair used the axe to break through the back door.
"Once inside, secured offices were entered by, once again, breaking through with an axe. It was unknown if anything was taken," RCMP said in a statement.
Damage was estimated at about $3,000.
A bail hearing has been scheduled for an adult man who was arrested over the weekend.
Police say they're looking for help from the community in tracking down the other suspect.
