Detectives say over the past several days, a video of someone stealing a Confederate flag from a Bradenton home, has been circulating on social and mainstream media.

On Tuesday, a Manatee County resident contacted the sheriff's office to report that his Confederate flag was taken over the weekend, and that he saw video of the theft on the internet.
