According to police, an Amazon delivery driver dumped around 80 packages in a wooded area in Massachusetts just days before the holidays.

Lakeville police said one of their sergeants discovered the unattended items during a routine patrol early Sunday morning.

“Upon further investigation, Sgt. Shawn Robert determined that there were three large bags full of Amazon packages spread out several meters in the woods,” a statement said. “Police officers loaded the carrier bags onto a pickup truck and took them back to the Lakeville Police Department, where they inventoried approximately 80 packages.”

An Amazon delivery driver then went to police the following day and “reported that they had left the packages on the side of the road around 7 p.m. Saturday because they were stressed,” according to authorities.

The packages have since been returned to an Amazon distribution center in Middleborough in southeastern Massachusetts.

“At this time, we are not seeking criminal charges and view this as a personnel matter for Amazon,” added Lakeville Police Chief Matthew Perkins.

The incident came as Teamster drivers expanded their strike against Amazon after the company “repeatedly refused to abide by the law and negotiate.”

The union claims Amazon ignored a Dec. 15 deadline to negotiate new contracts for higher wages, better benefits and safer working conditions.

However, Amazon stood firm, insisting that they had no intention of joining forces with the Teamsters because, in their opinion, they “do not represent Amazon employees.”
