Salisbury Man Charged After Stolen Camera Is Spotted
Delmar, MD - On November 6, 2026, the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office handled a stolen property case in the 1000 block of Maple Street in Delmar, MD. The case ended with a 23-year-old Salisbury man in custody and a long list of theft charges.
Joseph Bradley Jr was arrested by detectives with the Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division. Detectives believe the case may reach past a single car break-in.
It started on October 26, 2026. Deputies took a report from a man who said someone got into his vehicle overnight and took several items, including camera equipment and electronics.
About 11 days later, on November 6, the man called the Sheriff's Office. He told them he had come across what he believed was his stolen camera.
Detectives took over the case from there. They tracked down a suspect who had the camera and took him into custody. Deputies got the camera back, along with several more camera lenses.
Detectives then got a search warrant for a home in Salisbury tied to Bradley. Inside, they found more items believed to have been taken from the man's vehicle.
That wasn't all they found. Detectives also came across other property they believe is linked to more vehicle thefts in the area.
The case is still open. Detectives are working to find the owners of those items, and they're checking whether any other thefts can be tied to Bradley.
Bradley is charged with rogue and vagabond, theft from $1,000 to $10,000, theft from $1,500 to $25,000, theft over $100 but under $1,500, theft less than $100, and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person.
The Sheriff's Office is reminding everyone to lock their vehicles. It's also asking people not to leave anything valuable inside their cars, especially overnight.
If something has been taken from your vehicle in the area, you can reach the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office at 410-548-4891.
