Police are searching for the suspects who damaged Christmas decorations and American flags outside a pet store in Suffolk County.
The four men stole a wreath and burned two American flags outside Cozy Pet on West Main Street in Babylon.
The incident was captured on surveillance video.
Store owner Mike Carmody is a retired NYPD officer. He says the type of behavior shown on the video is disgusting and inexusable.
"The American flag means more to me than anything," says Carmody. "To burn and desecrate the flag, that's what put me over the edge."
The men also urinated and vomited on the side of the store.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the incident to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
