(La Porte County, IN) - It appears a happy ending is in store for a La Porte County man who had his flag pole and the two flags on it stolen from his yard.
According to La Porte County Police, at bout 10 a.m. on Monday, officers were called to a home in the 2700 block of South 425 West in Scipio Township. There, the victim told officers his up-to-25-foot tall flag pole was taken from the front of his residence sometime between 4 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday.
He said attached to the pole was the State of Indiana flag and the American flag. However, he could not provide any suspects and did not have any working surveillance cameras. He estimated the loss at $450.
The man filed a police report the next day at the request of the flag pole company, which offered to replace everything as long as he reported the crime to authorities, according to the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office.
