More than a dozen flags hanging outside homes in an East Long Beach neighborhood were set on fire by an arsonist seen on security camera video.
In video captured at 3 a.m. Thursday in front of a home, the man can be seen holding what appears to be a lighter to a U.S. flag. Residents said it was one of 15 flags torched in the neighborhood."My best friend from across the street called and woke me up because her dog woke her up," said Tracy Greenberg."They were burning her flag as well.
