Case to Crack at Halifax: Block egging prompts action

Officials at Halifax have cracked – after student pranksters lobbed eggs at the college accommodation blocks.

Administrators Jacqui Fountain and Fran Stanton have issued a warning to undergraduates and postgraduates following a number of reported incidents over the past week.

It is not known exactly where the eggs were thrown but officials have said those involved will be made to pay for “additional cleaning which is
carried out”.

An email to students said: “This week there has been a number of incidents reported where eggs have been thrown at accommodation blocks/houses.
“We are investigating this as this is unacceptable behaviour and should be stopped immediately.”

It added: “As a resident it is your responsibility to ensure that your accommodation is kept clean, even if the cause of the mess is not directly caused by your flat.”
