PORTLAND – Portland police are seeking the public’s help in identifying two burglars who stole jewelry and electronics from Coastal Trading and Pawn at Union Station Plaza on St. John Street.

Police released a video showing the two men climbing over the counter, prying off the doors to several display cases and filling duffle bags with loot, mostly electronics like tablets and cellphones as well as jewelry and coins.

The break-in, early Monday, set off an alarm but the pair left 90 seconds after entering. Police found that the front door had been pried open.

A police dog tried unsuccessfully to track the suspects.

The pair were both wearing white masks to cover their faces and sweatshirt hoods over their heads.

One was wearing a black sweatshirt with red T-shirt over it and black pants, the other a gray sweatshirt with a black T-shirt over it and brown pants. Police could not determine their age, race or gender.

Police ask that anyone with information contact police at 874-8933.
