MANDEVILLE — Three teens were arrested on hate crime charges after they allegedly stole and burned a Mandeville-woman's LGBTQ+ pride flag while making derogatory remarks, St. Tammany Parish deputies said Tuesday.

Two 15-year-olds and a 14-year-old allegedly stole a woman's pride flag and burned it in the middle of the road on May 26.

Deputies said they eventually caught the trio after receiving a video of the teens burning the flag while spouting hate speech. As a result of the video, deputies arrested the three on theft, simple damage to property and hate crime charges. The teens were released to their guardians on a custodial agreement to appear in court, deputies said.
