Police act on the stolen Woollahra Council’s Israeli flag
Three people have been charged as investigations continue into the theft of an Israeli flag outside Woollahra Council in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
A police report details that at around 2pm on Christmas Day, “two vehicles stopped outside a building on New South Head Road, Double Bay, before the occupants got out, and a flag was torn from a flagpole.
The report continued: “Officers from Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command were notified and commenced an investigation.
As part of inquiries, detectives attended a Stanmore home about 7.30pm the same day and spoke to a 27-year-old man, the registered owner of a Toyota Kluger.
He has since been issued a court attendance notice for the driver not disclosing the identity of the driver/passenger as required, unreasonably obstructing the path of the driver/pedestrian.”
