SANTA YNEZ VALLEY, CALIF. - After a pride flag was stolen from a church in Santa Ynez Valley last week, a video of another pride flag lit on fire has surfaced on social media. It is unclear if it was the same stolen flag, but community members fear that it is the same perpetrator.

Priest Randall Day of the St. Marks-in-the-Valley Church in Santa Ynez Valley reported a stolen pride flag on Thursday.

Since then, a video of the flag being burned has been sighted on Snapchat.

Locals say they are disheartened after seeing the video.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the case.
