Caught on camera: Pride flags stolen from Bucks County business two nights in a row
BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. - Pride flags were ripped from a business in Bucks County at least twice - and both moments were captured on surveillance footage.
Police say a flag was stolen from a Evolution Candy Shop on East State Street in Doylestown overnight on June 3, then again on June 4.
Video shows the suspect reaching up, ripping the flags from the business, and walking away flag-in-hand both times.
"It’s just significant to the people that come here it’s symbolic we accept everybody and anyone is welcome here," Owner Tracy Lamb said.
