A second Amazon delivery driver exploited an open door at a residential building in Washington, D.C., to steal over ten packages, including a snow blower meant for community use. Police are investigating the incident, while Amazon has replaced identifiable stolen items and launched an internal review.
On Friday, January 10th, an Amazon delivery driver entered a lobby in the 3600 block of Connecticut Avenue, NW, a cooperative residential building. Shortly after, a second Amazon driver followed, taking advantage of the open door. Once the packages were delivered, the second driver lingered behind and texted an accomplice waiting in a car outside.
The accomplice then entered the lobby, and together, the pair stole over 10 packages, including a snow blower purchased by the community to clear walkways and the building’s alley.
