Amazon driver watches as group of looters raid her truck in Atlanta neighborhood
A group of thieves ransacked an Amazon delivery van as the helpless driver looked on stunned during the brazen daylight robbery in Atlanta in the latest string of attacks on delivery trucks.
The female driver told the cops she was delivering a package to the Country Oaks Apartments in the Fairburn Mays neighborhood Sunday afternoon as she left her running vehicle unattended, a common habit by delivery service workers.
She then claimed at least four men ran up to the truck and stole multiple packages from inside, according to 11Alive.
Video captured from a nearby apartment shows the thieves jumping out of the front of the van and running to the back where the door is already opened, before hopping back in and filling their arms with packages.
The camera then turned to the driver, who was in the middle of her delivery route, abruptly stopped walking and watched as her truck was ransacked.
As they rushed to get into the van, a couple of the thieves slipped and fell to the ground before quickly getting up and into the back, but there was no need for the speed as no one was around to stop them.
It is not known what items were in the stolen packages.
Investigators are working to figure out the identities of the suspects and determine the circumstances behind the robbery, according to the outlet.
The Amazon theft came hours after a hoard of motorists blocked a FedEx semi-truck in Memphis Saturday night as thieves stole multiple packages from the once-sealed back.
Three men were detained for their involvement in the robbery after they were caught by a security detail at an apartment complex with several packages in their car.
Another recent attack on delivery drivers saw a Maryland UPS driver become the victim of an armed daylight carjacking in Maryland.
In the footage captured in Prince George’s County last Thursday, a group of thieves surrounded the female driver before taking off in the large brown truck.
