The two suspects broke into Eastex Fabric in Plymouth on the night of May 3.

Police on the South Shore are searching for two people who allegedly broke into a fabric company last week and vandalized the business by pouring syrup over electronics and leaving racial slurs around the office. 

The Plymouth Police Department released photos of the two suspects on Tuesday and asked anyone with information to contact investigators.

According to police, the two suspects broke into Eastex Fabric at Cordage Park on the night of May 3. They allegedly poured both coke and syrup over the electronics in the office, causing “significant” damage and “left several racial slurs around the offices.” Police said they also stole five baseballs, each signed by a member of the Boston Red Sox.

The baseballs were signed by David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Tim Wakefield, and Curt Shilling and are estimated to be worth more than $1,000. 

“They appeared to be two Hispanic males between 5’-6” and 5’-7” feet tall,” police said. 

Anyone with information can contact the department’s Officer M. Whyte at 508-830-4218 ext. 15428 or at [email protected]
