A recent Amazon tractor trailer theft in Bucks County may be part of a larger ring targeting trucks full of other people's packages.
Investigators say a trailer loaded with Amazon packages was stolen after a breakdown in Bucks County and later found in Lehigh County . An Amazon tractor trailer had its trailer stolen in Bucks County , and the storage unit was found in Lehigh County some time later.
NBC10’s Deanna Durante has the story. According to investigators, the incident began May 22 when a driver working for Amazon experienced a breakdown along the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bensalem. The truck was towed for repairs, but the trailer — which was filled with packages awaiting delivery — did not remain where it was left. The discovery has raised new questions for investigators, including who stole the trailer and why it was ultimately abandoned.
State police identified the trailer as a 2019 blue Vanguard National Trailer Corp. trailer bearing the Amazon logo and registration number V39752. Investigators are asking anyone who may have seen the trailer traveling between May 22 and May 24 to come forward. Troopers are also interested in hearing from anyone who may have information about who stole the trailer or who may have left it in Slatington.
State police said the theft may not have been an isolated incident and could be connected to a larger cargo theft operation. This story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC Philadelphia. AI tools helped convert the story to a digital article, and an NBC Philadelphia journalist edited the article for publication.
