On Thursday, March 13th, 2025, members of the Worcester Police Vice Squad were in possession of a warrant for a Leicester address for the person of John Bradley, DOB 3/22/78. Vice officers were aware that Bradley had warrants for multiple drug trafficking violations and was residing at this address. With assistance from Leicester Police and Worcester Police Department Emergency Operations officers, officers made entry into the residence.

Once inside, Mr. Bradley was observed exiting a bedroom on the first floor. He was placed under arrest for his outstanding warrants. As a result of information developed on scene, Vice Officers applied for a search warrant for the residence to search for cocaine and drug related evidence.

Once the search warrant was obtained, Worcester Vice Squad and Leicester Police Detectives conducted a thorough search of the residence and recovered approximately 500 grams of cocaine, drug packaging and processing materials, a loaded firearm, ammunition, and two large capacity “drum style” magazines. All these items were recovered from the same room Mr. Bradley was observed exiting upon the initial officer entry. In addition to the warrants, Mr. Bradley will be facing numerous additional drug trafficking and firearms related charges.
