Dozens of school pupil files that were stolen from a city council worker’s home during a burglary have been recovered. The files contained information about Broughton High, Granton and Forthview Primary School pupils who have had contact with the Education Welfare Service.
It’s understood that the data records, stolen during a break-in last month, concerned the childrens’ school attendance.
A city council spokesperson said: “The files were recovered on Wednesday after the car that had been used in the robbery was found. The files do not appear to have been tampered with and we have sent a letter out to all the families to let them know this.”
