Harrison Township's pride is on full display along Main Street. But just outside of town, those flags are missing.
Police in Gloucester County are searching for the vandals who damaged several pride flags last weekend.
"Four flags were damaged. The word "pride" was removed from each of the four flags," said Lt. David Marro with Harrison Township Police.Police shared a photo of the damage and it looks like someone cut the word right out of the flag, leaving the rest of it intact. Harrison Township police are searching for the person who vandalized several pride flags over the weekend.
"That's terrible, people shouldn't be doing that stuff. I mean destroying people's flags, give me a break. What is this world coming to," said Roger Gish of Mullica Hill."Our detectives on Monday went out and spoke to a lot of the residents out there. We were able to gather what was out there and we're currently going through all that to see if we can make anything of it," said Lt. Marro.
While this is the first incident in Harrison Township, it's one of many anti-LGBTQ crimes across the Delaware Valley.
