Amazon delivery drivers, all males, facing charges of stealing packages, selling them online: Lower Mainland RCMP

BURNABY — Three Amazon delivery drivers, all males in their 20s, are facing potential charges that they allegedly stole packages they were supposed to deliver and then sold them online in the Lower Mainland.

According to a statement from police, Burnaby RCMP responded on September 10 to a report of an Amazon driver stealing packages and then selling them on an online marketplace, presumably Facebook, although police did not identify the online source. Nearly three weeks later on September 29, police executed a search warrant at the suspect’s Vancouver home where they located and confiscated approximately $2,200 in stolen goods. The suspect, a 28-year-old man, was arrested by police and released contingent upon charges being approved.

On November 16, 2023, police received a nearly identical report of an Amazon driver stealing packages. On November 22, Burnaby RCMP’s Prolific Offender Suppression Team (POST) executed a search warrant at another driver’s Surrey residence. The suspect, a 26-year-old man, now faces six counts of theft which have been forwarded to the B.C. Prosecution Service for consideration of charges.

On November 28, a third report of an Amazon driver stealing packages was received by police. On November 29, Burnaby RCMP POST members conducted a search warrant at the driver’s Vancouver residence. The suspect, a 25-year-old man, was arrested and released. Three counts of theft are expected to be forwarded to the B.C. Prosecution Service for consideration of charges.
