Outrageous excuse given by Amazon driver who abandoned 80 packages in the woods
Share:
An Amazon delivery driver abandoned dozens of packages in the woods of a Massachusetts town because she was stressed. A police sergeant for the town of Lakeville, which is about 42 miles south of Boston, found the boxes near 63 Bedford Street during a routine patrol around 2am on Sunday.

When he investigated further, he discovered 'three large totes full of Amazon packages that were spread out several feet into the woods,' according to a release by the Lakeland Police Department. The sergeant's body cam captured him lifting the totes out from the wooded area. Later, the totes - containing roughly 80 undelivered Amazon packages - were brought back to the police station.

'I was like, "what is that? Is that trash?" Then I was like, "that's not trash, that's Amazon,"' the sergeant said as he and another officer lugged the packages into the back of their vehicle. Police received no reports that the packages were misplaced or stolen, so they contacted a nearby Amazon distribution center in Middleborough and returned them.

The Amazon driver came forward on Monday and visited the Lakeville Police Department to confess that she had left the packages on the side of the road because she was 'stressed.'. She dropped the packages there on Saturday at around 7pm, according to police.
