A Massachusetts Amazon driver ditched 80 packages in a wooded area of Lakeville because of “stress.”
A sergeant on routine patrol “noticed items unattended in a wooded area” at around 2 a.m. Sunday, Police Chief Matthew Perkins said.
The officer found three totes full of undelivered Amazon packages scattered across an area near an Amazon fulfillment center.
The packages were brought to the Lakeville Police Department where the driver showed up on Monday to report their act and said they planned to report it to their manager.
“I am proud of the way our Lakeville Police officers handled and investigated this matter. At this time, we are not seeking criminal charges and are considering this a human resources matter for Amazon.”
The incident comes as Amazon employees are holding large strikes at the company’s warehouses across the country amid a surging holiday workload.
