RICHLAND COUNTY, SC (WIS) - Richland County Sheriff's deputies are looking for a suspect wanted for burglarizing an elementary school.

Sometime between 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. Saturday, January 28, 2012, deputies were called to Joseph Keels Elementary School on Springcrest Drive for a report of a burglary.

Investigators say an unknown suspect entered the school somehow. Once inside, the suspect broke the glass doors of several offices and moved, rearranged, and rifled through items in the offices. The suspect caused about $1500.00 in damage.

 A surveillance camera captured images of the suspect.
