Strong winds on the night of Friday, Jan. 13 caused the flagpole outside the Countryside Gallery at 2 South State Street to snap, police said in a statement.
While the banner was hanging down, a vandal leaped up and snatched it, investigators believe. Police say they are reviewing security footage to identify the thief.
