In Massachusetts, Sgt. Shawn Robert from the Lakeville Police Department was on patrol when he spotted three large Amazon totes with more than 80 packages sitting in the woods. The mystery was short-lived: An Amazon driver showed up at the police department the following day to admit that he had left the packages on the side of the road because he was “very stressed.” Police say they returned the packages to Amazon and contacted the local distribution center in Middleborough about the incident. The police department said they would not seek criminal charges because the Amazon driver agreed to report the incident to his manager. “This is a Human Resources matter for Amazon, said Lakeville Police Chief Matthew Perkins. An Amazon spokesperson said the company encourages drivers who aren’t able to or don’t feel safe completing their routes to report back to their employer. All the abandoned items were redelivered to their intended destinations ahead of the holiday. There's no word on whether the driver got to keep his job.
