DEDHAM, MA - A local store that was the victim of a break-in is asking the public for help in recovering.

On March 21, the Dedham Square Country Store and East & Harris Vintage and Collectibles was ransacked and vandalized. According to store owner Greg Agnew, over $15,000 in goods were stolen.

"We woke up Tuesday morning to find that we'd lost it all. We put everything into this store, and almost all of our inventory is gone," Agnew wrote on GoFundMe.

Stolen items include 100 vintage t-shirts, 200 records, and other rare community finds.

According to Agnew, their insurance will not cover 80 percent of their loss. To help recover, Agnew has created a GoFundMe page and is reaching out to the community for help.

"With only limited inventory, and limited resources to replenish the stock, we'd be forced to close and have nothing to fall back on," Agnew said.

The Country Store opened in 2009 before closing the brick and mortar store in 2013. The store reopened in November with "Tough Town Lovelies" owner Elyse Stevens-Kane of Stoughton.
