Man Stealing Flag in Seattle Caught on Security Camera

A man stealing an American flag from a residential property in Seattle, Washington, on August 23 was caught on security camera and police officers have asked for help in identifying the individual.

In a video shared by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, a man can be seen approaching the property as another man follows behind him. He removes the flag from its holder and walks away from the house.

In a Facebook post shared to help apprehend the man, the sheriff’s office said that it needed the public’s help to identify the man.

“Two males were involved and the male who removed the flag was called ‘Michael’ by the second male,” the sheriff’s office added.
