This 4th of July was a little less patriotic outside of several Windsor Terrace homes after a thief allegedly snatched the owners’ American flags.

Police say that on Friday, July 4 at about 5:30am, a man rode up on a bike and took the flags from homes around Sherman Street and 10th Avenue, removing each from its pole, and then rode away.

Neighbors told 1010 Wins that nearly a dozen flags were stolen, some large and some small, including one that was presented to a family by a by a man who had been stationed in Iraq.

A home surveillance video, seen above, shows the suspect in the act, wearing jean shorts, a bandana, and carrying two backpacks.
