Officers responded to a motion alarm activation at the school. Surveillance footage showed three people leave the building with the crucifix, police said.

Grey Nun Academy, an independent Catholic school which was founded in 1963, closed in June 2019 because of declining enrollment.

Police said the investigation into the theft is ongoing.
