Davis police looking for suspect who tore down Israeli flag flying from home
Authorities are asking for help in finding the suspect who was captured on camera tearing down an Israeli flag from a Davis home.
Davis police say the incident happened along Claremont Drive early in the morning on June 1.
As seen on surveillance camera from the home, a suspect tore down an Israeli flag that was flying from a home and then left it on the ground.
Police say the incident has prompted a criminal investigation.
"The City of Davis stands firmly against all forms of hate crime. Whether based on race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other difference—acts of hate are not only unacceptable, they are crimes," police said in a statement.
Investigators are trying to identify the suspect, but few distinguishing details about the person have been released. The video of the incident has been posted to the police department's social media pages in the hopes that someone recognizes the suspect.
Anyone with information about the identity of the person is urged to call or email Davis police.
