Residents of a Long Beach neighborhood are shaken up after an arsonist was caught on camera setting their American flags on fire.
A doorbell camera captures the man lighting up the flags in the middle of the night on Thursday.
He was arrested several hours after the attacks, tracked down by authorities at a nearby park.
Authorities say the suspect has struck at least 14 homes in the same neighborhood.
In a video provided by a neighbor who wished to remain anonymous, the suspect sets the flags on fire with a lighter. He appears to be relaxed, keeping one hand in his pocket. He ensures the flag is fully ignited by flicking his lighter multiple times and touching the flames to the flag. He then calmly walks away from the burning debris.
The suspect was later arrested and booked on 13 counts of arson and violation of parole. He was denied bail. The motive behind his crimes is unknown as the case remains under investigation.

Dress him in Red White and Blue jail suit with stripes and stars.
Give him back his lighter.
Arson and parole violation charges? Those flags attached to the home should mean attempted murder charges.

By which I mean, some troll left a comment at the YouTube video.
A car ended up completely gutted by fire and parts of houses also got burned. A barking dog woke people up in time to prevent greater tragedies.
