Yob tears down St George's flag outside home of Olympic hero Adam Peaty's mother

Yobs have torn down a St George's flag from outside the home of Olympic champion Adam Peaty 's mother before allegedly setting it alight. Caroline Peaty captured the disturbing act on CCTV as two men approached her home. In the footage, one of the men can be seen climbing a lamppost directly outside her front garden and ripping down the red-and-white flag of England, which was later believed to have been burned. Caroline, who did not put the flag up herself, proudly displays a Union Jack in her garden in honour of her son Adam's three Olympic gold medals for Team GB , and as a tribute to her father and husband who both served in the armed forces.
