Police may have caught a break in the case because the masked arsonists’ criminal actions have been caught on camera.Video shows one suspect jumping the fence in a neighborhood in Antelope, California, and swiping a pride flag from the front yard while others wait in the street. They burned the rainbow flag, which represents the LGBTQ+ community, and watch for a short time before running awayMoles said a group of young people also destroyed her pride flag a week earlier.
The neighbor’s video across the street captured the incident, and you can see the suspect light the flag on fire.“I would like some education for them, for their families. I would love understanding of what’s driving. Is this just dumb kid pranks? Is there some real maliciousness there? We want to get ahead of this. We don’t want this to become bigger and breed more hatred, more bigotry in our society,” Moles said.
