Pride decorations removed from Isle of Arran before march

Officers on the Isle of Arran are appealing for witnesses after Pride decorations were removed overnight.

Between 2am and 7am on Saturday, 31 May, flags and banners for the island's LGBTQ parade were pulled down from Main Street, Brodick.

This is being investigated as a hate crime.

Sergeant Clare Neilson, Arran Police Office, said: "We are taking this very seriously and are following positive lines of enquiry.

"If anyone has any information or saw people acting suspiciously, get in touch.

"Anyone with private CCTV or dash-cam footage should check to see if they captured anything.

"Call 101, quoting reference 0975 of 31 May, 2025 if you have any information that can help our investigation."
