Police are searching for two suspects in a recent string of burglaries targeting Brooklyn Park area schools.

Two men broke into SAGE Academy and Crest View Elementary School early Friday after robbing two other schools in the past 11 days, authorities said.

Brooklyn Park police caught the two on video surveillance prying open windows to fill their backpacks with school iPads, laptops and other electronics.

In late October, the suspects hit Palmer Lake Elementary School and Birch Grove Elementary.

Police have met with Anoka-Hennepin School District officials to go over security procedures, said Deputy Chief Mark Bruley.
