WILMINGTON, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Police in Wilmington are searching for a suspect they say stole a security camera from the Wildwood Cemetery.

Wilmington Police originally installed the security camera at the cemetery to try to crack down on thefts at the burial ground. Police did not say when the camera is stolen or if the person caught on the camera was involved in any of the thefts from the gravesites.

In a Facebook post, Wilmington Police dubbed the man "Mr. Sticky Fingers" and asked residents for anyone with information about the man's identity to reach out to police. Wilmington residents told WBZ-TV thieves have stolen things like flags, flowers, vases, and crosses from loved ones' graves over the past year.
