Belmont Park school to reopen after robbery
An educational program at Belmont Park that was forced to close nearly six weeks ago -- after a robber made off with its computers -- is reopening Monday.
Ten laptops were among the items stolen Memorial Day from the Backstretch Education Fund building.
The Roosevelt Field mall Apple Store recently helped the program rebound, giving it a deal on new computers, program founder Lisa Ford said Saturday.
The program teaches English, literacy and horse-tending skills to many of Belmont Park's employees and provides a computer lab for them to access email and Skype, Ford said.
No arrests have been made in connection with the robbery.
