Authorities seek the public’s help in finding two suspects in an Encinitas burglary case.

The suspects, two white men between ages 23 and 30, were caught on surveillance cameras just after 5 a.m. March 21 breaking the glass door of Pacific Coast Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery and stealing two Apple computers, according to a Sheriff’s Department statement. The business is located in the 500 block of Saxony Place.

One of the suspects dropped a machine used for analyzing blood when an alarm sounded, the Sheriff’s Department reported. Loss and damage are estimated at more than $34,000.

Investigators are hoping that someone will recognize the suspects thanks to clear surveillance video, which is available at vimeo.com/174690740.
