Queenstown Police are investigating after a report of several pride flags being removed from their poles around Queenstown Bay and Village Green.
The theft has occurred sometime in the last week. Police have received a report of it yesterday.
Sergeant Steve Watt says the theft is disappointing as it has occurred right before Winter Pride kicks off today.
¡°While we can¡¯t know the motive for removing these flags until we have identified those responsible, we know how frustrating it is for the organisers of this vibrant festival that injects a real boost to our city.
¡°We¡¯re keen to hear from anyone who might have information about this theft, or who knows who is responsible.¡±
Anyone who can assist is asked to get in touch through our 105 service and quote file number 240822/6540.?
