Police in Camden have come to the rescue of Philadelphia Eagle A.J. Brown.
Officers on Monday recovered a car reported stolen overnight Easter Sunday from the Eagles All-Pro wide receiver, according to a spokesman for the Camden County Police Department.
The 2022 Mercedes was found in good condition, spokesman Dan Keashen said. He added that the car was recovered along Morton Street near Louis Street in the Whitman Park neighborhood.

A suspect has been arrested on multiple charges of receiving stolen property and one charge of possessing an illegal drug, Keashen said.
The suspect, whose name was not immediately available, is also accused of soliciting a prostitute. All of these charges are only allegations.
The vehicle was stolen from outside a Haddonfield home at approximately 3:40 a.m., according to a borough representative.
A surveillance camera showed a suspect entering a vehicle that was apparently unlocked in a driveway. Haddonfield police reported the theft on a community app at 10:15 a.m. and announced its recovery a little more than two hours later.
Brown discussed the theft early Monday in now-deleted posts on his Instagram and X accounts
“Dear Philly – To whoever stole my car last night, I’ll make a deal with you…. Bring back my car and I won’t press charges, or when I find you today, it’s going to be what it’s going to be. Take it or leave it my guy,” Brown said.
Brown later posted a thumbs up emoji and changed his profile photo to the character Chase from the cartoon “Paw Patrol.” It was not long after that he confirmed that he got his car back
