CARLISLE, Mass. — Just days before Pride month, police are investigating the theft of hundreds of LGBTQ flags from the town’s center.

Chief Andrew Amendola says his department was notified Sunday that during the overnight hours, over 200 LGBTQ Pride flags were stolen from the rotary at the intersection of Lowell Street, Bedford Road, and Westford Road.

“We are taking this very seriously,” said Chief Amendola. “It is unfortunate, as Carlisle is an inclusive community, and we want everyone to feel safe and welcomed here.”
