Three Amazon drivers arrested for stealing delivery packages

As an e-commerce platform and logistics giant with huge shipping volumes, it is not uncommon for Amazon employees to embezzle.

Recently, Canadian police issued a notice stating that they had arrested two more Amazon delivery drivers. Together with another driver who had been arrested previously, the number of drivers arrested for theft at Amazon's Burnaby warehouse has reached three.

According to the police report, the stolen goods included men's watches worth more than $600 and Apple AirTags worth $35 .

According to foreign media reports, after Amazon called the police, Canadian police responded to the driver stealing packages and selling them online as early as September 10.

Then on September 29, a search warrant was executed on the first arrested driver, a 28-year-old man, at whose home police found 32 packages valued at approximately $2,200.

Then in November, the police received another report from Amazon. Then they launched a search warrant for the driver's (male) residence involved in the case and arrested the man on six counts of theft on the 22nd of the same month. The driver is 26 years old and lives in Surrey.

A week later, the third Amazon driver who stole the package came into the police's sight. On November 29, the police searched the driver's (male) residence in Vancouver and arrested the 25-year-old driver.

The police later said at a press conference that there was no indication that the three cases were related; the police had not received any reports of other thefts involving Amazon drivers.

Canadian police also said that because the safety and security measures implemented by the company (Amazon) are very deterrent, this type of theft is not common, let alone an isolated crime; in the three cases, the information collected by Amazon was key to the investigation and recovery of the goods.
