UPDATE 1/27/2026 — TPD says it has identified the person in the video footage as Bradley Arnold.
Police say since the incident at the church, Arnold was arrested for an unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. A tip led to him being identified as a suspect and led to an added burglary charge.
Tulsa Police are looking for a man that stole cooper wire and a camera from a local church.
Earlier this month, a man, who appears to be in his 50s or 60s with a a gray mustache and beard, dismantled thousands of dollars worth of copper, along with the camera that caught him on video. On Jan. 10, just after midnight, the man, wearing an Eskimo Joe’s hoodie and carrying a large green backpack, broke into a downtown church and used a power-tool to cut out several copper wires from the basement area.
After causing extensive damage and packing up the pipe, he took the camera that recorded the entire incident. Luckily, the video loaded automatically to a server, allowing the church to provide detectives with excellent footage of the suspect.
If anyone has any information they can call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
