Victoria Police is appealing for public assistance after 100 iPads were stolen from a school in Keilor East on Monday morning.

The robbery occurred about 2.15am when four balaclava-clad offenders broke into the office area of Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School.

They took the iPads, which had been stored in individual packaging.

The school, located on Rachelle Road, had intended to distribute the iPad Air 2 tablets to students.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have been offered a cheap Apple iPad for sale or who has information on the burglary to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
