An overwhelmed Amazon driver just couldn’t take it anymore and abandoned 80 packages along a Massachusetts road during the holiday shipping crush because they were “ stressed ,” authorities reported.
A Lakeville police sergeant discovered the packages on the roadway and into the woods before dawn last Sunday, just days before Christmas, which was captured on his body cam .
There were “three large totes full of Amazon packages that were spread out several feet into the woods,” according to a statement from Lakeville police, who returned the deliveries to the local Amazon distribution center. The driver who dumped the packages, who was not identified by police, turned up at the station with an explanation the day after the packages were found.
The driver said they intended to report the incident to Amazon. Police have no plans to file charges.
“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,” Chief Matthew Perkins said.
