Vandals have targeted Foster Elementary in Kingwood twice in the past five days causing damage to the playground and the Parent-Teacher Association storage shed.
Damage was caused to the storage shed July 2 after it was broken into, burglarized and plastic cups inside were set on fire.
A couple of days later, a neighbor noticed smoke coming from the playground area, right of the building around 6:30 a.m. July 4.
“The neighbor spotted the smoke and called the Houston Fire Department. The fire damaged playground equipment which included a slide, climbing stairs and several other pieces attached to the equipment,” Karen Collier, executive director of public information said.
They do not have any suspects as of yet but there will be an investigation into who set both of the fires.
