Description
New surveillance video shows thieves tearing down and stealing several pride flags in Burien on June 8 — a crime the city has encountered before.
"Let's raise people up instead of tearing down flags,” said Dianna Leppa, a Burien resident who replaced the stolen flags. “Let's celebrate."
Surveillance video from a Burien business on early Saturday morning shows thieves ripping down and taking Pride flags placed along Southwest 152nd Street. Approximately 80 Pride flags out of original 130 flags were stolen or vandalized.
"The fact that we have to go back and redo it,” said Denise Ferguson, program manager with Discover Burien. “And continue on is maddening."
