Provincial police are searching for three suspects, a tractor and a pickup truck after three Pride flags were stolen in Oxford County.
Police first responded to Norwich Township shortly after 5 am Friday after receiving reports of theft and mischief on Stover Street, Oxford OPP said.
At the scene, officers determined one Pride flag, the symbol of diversity and inclusivity for members of the LGBTQ2+ community, had been stolen off a hydro pole while another had been spray-painted.
The damaged flag was reported stolen a day later along with another flag placed on a Main Street pole, police said Saturday.
After reviewing surveillance footage from the scene, investigators believe three men wearing orange safety gear were involved in the thefts, police said.
A white GMC Sierra pickup truck and a red tractor were also captured in the video, police said. Anyone who can help identify the suspects is asked to call police at 1-888-310-1122.
