LEXINGTON, S.C. — Lexington Police are still looking for a man who they believe is stealing flags.
But the good news is that four of the American flags were found, a neighbor who saw the flags on the ground, placed them in a tree so they would be off the ground. The yard flag was also discovered. The five flags were found in a wooded area near Ashford Way.
There are still three missing American flags.
