Discovery of Abandoned Packages

During a routine patrol around 2 a.m. on Sunday, a Lakeville police sergeant spotted unattended items in a wooded area near 63 Bedford Street. Upon closer inspection, the officer found three large totes filled with Amazon packages, some of which were scattered several feet into the woods.

The abandoned packages, totaling 80 in number, were collected and brought to the Lakeville Police Department. At the time, no reports of stolen or missing packages had been filed.

Collaboration with Amazon

Police promptly contacted a nearby Amazon distribution center in Middleborough to report the incident. The recovered packages were returned to Amazon for redelivery.

Driver Comes Forward

On Monday, the Amazon driver responsible for the incident visited the Lakeville Police Department. The driver admitted to leaving the packages on the roadside around 7 p.m. on Saturday, explaining that they felt overwhelmed by stress during the busy holiday season.

The driver also stated they intended to report the situation to their manager. Police did not disclose the driver’s identity.

Police Response

Lakeville Police Chief Matthew Perkins commended his team for their professional handling of the situation, emphasizing a focus on resolving the matter as a human resources issue rather than pursuing criminal 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 Perkins stated.

A Reminder of Holiday Season Pressures

The incident highlights the immense pressures delivery drivers face during the holiday rush, where tight schedules and heavy workloads can take a toll on mental well-being.

As Amazon works to ensure the packages are delivered to their intended recipients, this case serves as a reminder of the human challenges behind holiday logistics.
