A group of four men broke into the USS Salem, a Navy ship docked at 739 Washington St. in Quincy, on October 9, police said in a Facebook post Wednesday.
Police released surveillance images of the four suspects, who all appear to be white men in their early 20s, police said (further suspect descriptions). No damage was reported, and the suspects seem to have only stolen some two-way radios, according to police.
A “big part of Quincy’s history,” the USS Salem was ordered by the Navy on June 14, 1943, and its construction began on July 4, 1945, at the Bethlehem Steel Company’s Quincy Yard, police said.
The ship was placed in active service on May 14, 1949, at the Boston Navy Yard and served a 10-year career, according to the USS Salem’s website.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspects is asked to call police at 617-745-5869.
