MILFORD, MA — Milford police are looking for a man who was seen on video nabbing a Donald Trump flag from the front of a home on the north side of town.

The theft happened at around 5 p.m. Wednesday near Purchase Street and Dynasty Drive, police said. In a surveillance video, the man can be seen jogging up to the front of the home, pulling down the flag, and then dashing away down the street.

This isn't the first Trump-related theft in the area. In early August, an elderly Sudbury couple had their Trump lawn sign stolen two days in a row. The incident also comes in the midst of the Republican National Convention, where Trump has attempted to explain why he needs to be reelected — his main speech is set for Thursday night.
