Urgent: Stoneham High School Athletics Department Faces Potential Threat to Upcoming Season after Uniforms and Equipment Theft at Alumni Event

Stoneham High School Athletics Department in Massachusetts is facing a potential threat to their upcoming season due to a misunderstanding that led to the theft of uniforms and equipment during an alumni event held on Tuesday. The department posted a plea for help on X, formerly Twitter, urging anyone who took anything to return it as soon as possible.

Without the necessary equipment, the current athletes at the school will not be able to compete. The department emphasized the importance of returning the items to avoid having to purchase new uniforms, which would be detrimental to the upcoming season. It is unclear how individuals gained access to the locked room where the equipment was stored during the alumni walk-through event hosted by Stoneham High School on Tuesday.

The athletics department is seeking any information regarding the missing uniforms and equipment and urged anyone with knowledge or possession of the items to come forward. Stoneham police also shared the message from the school, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The building where Stoneham High School is located will be torn down this summer as part of the Stoneham High School Building Project, with a new school facility set to open in the fall for students.
