Irish tricolours and Palestinian flags were torn down during a Mini Twelfth parade in Glengormley on Tuesday evening.
There was a police presence in the area during the parade, which took place from 7.30pm.
Images captured from the incident show onlookers holding an Irish tricolour – while other footage shows Irish tricolours and Palestinian flags being torn down from lampposts.
In a statement, a police spokesperson said: "Police received a report of the theft of a number of flags from the Church Road area of Newtownabbey on Tuesday 25th June. Enquiries are ongoing."
A large crowd of onlookers gathered to watch the parade as it passed through the area.

If you don’t mind, can you take down the rest of the flags on both sides.
Thx.
Now if only they get all the other flags as well, I’d be on-side.
~~jobs~~ *flegs*
There’s no need to be flying tricolours and Palestinian flags anyway… iv seen people on here complaining because flags aren’t taken down and then when they take the flags down there’s crying about taking flags down…. Can’t win with these people.
An SF Councillor told me that they were only put up due to it being along the route that this march was taken, and that they shouldn’t have been put up in the first place.
Thought it was interesting.
Soooo this is news?? 🤣🤣
The irony of them supporting Israel isn’t lost on me, a country that gained it’s independence after a bunch of republican nationalists bombed/shot a bunch British soldiers
I can understand taking down the tricolours but I’d love to hear one of these dumb cunts articulate the reason for taking down Palestinian flags
Do you still get a day off work for the 12th?
If so where’s the half day for “mini 12ths.”
Totally normal behaviour all round 🙄
