The Monsey Service Station in Rockland appears to have once again been targeted for the flag they choose to fly.
Surveillance shows a U.S.-Israel flag taken from outside their business on Thursday.
News 12 was shown surveillance video from 3 a.m. that shows a box truck park close to their building, a passenger reach up and eventually yank it off before leaving.
It comes as the family who owns the auto body shop prepares for Passover.
“Passover holiday is all about us gaining our freedom and leaving Egypt all those years ago and here we are like slaves to stealing again," said Lauren Pepper with the shop. "It’s frustrating."
This isn't the first time one of their flags have been taken.
News 12 reported in May when an Israeli flag was taken.
Then in June, flyers were left on a pole on their property. One changed the Star of David to a swastika.
Pepper believes someone with the group Neturei Karta is behind these incidents.
The Anti-Defamation League states the ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionist Jewish organization opposes the state of Israel because it does not believe that Jewish people have a right to self-determination.
Pepper says they will be putting another flag up.
Ramapo police confirm they are working to find the person who did it. News 12 saw an officer there Friday morning.
