In the darkness on the last day of July, three unidentified men climbed the Alaska Capitol and stole the American and Alaska flags.
The Juneau Empire reports (http://bit.ly/1eQjNwS) that the men were caught on security cameras during the 1 a.m. flag theft on Friday, July 31.
Legislative Affairs Agency Chief of Security Steven Daigle emailed camera footage to legislative staffers on Monday afternoon.
Video shows three men walking down the street, breaking through a chain-link fence around Capitol construction and later leaving through the same location.
Juneau Assemblyman Jesse Kiehl shared the photos on a Juneau community Facebook page. He told the Empire by phone that stealing the flags was “just the wrong thing to do.”
Juneau police say they are investigating the incident.
