The driver is not facing any criminal charges at this time.
A police sergeant discovered the packages on Saturday night in Lakeville, about an hour outside of Boston.
The Lakeville Police Department explained in a statement that Sgt. Shawn Robert was on routine patrol when he noticed three large totes filled with Amazon packages unattended in a wooded area.
“On Monday, Dec. 23, an Amazon driver visited the Lakeville Police Department and reported that they left the packages on the side of the road at about 7 p.m. on Saturday because they were stressed,” the press release said.
“Police are not seeking any criminal charges, and the driver planned to report the incident to their manager. Lakeville Police have already contacted the local Amazon distribution center in Middleborough and returned the packages to Amazon.”
“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 said.
Meanwhile, Amazon warehouse workers in New York City, Atlanta, Southern California, San Francisco, and Skokie, Illinois, have been on strike since Thursday.
According to a report from the New York Post, pickets have also been held outside hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide.
“If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed,” Teamsters general president Sean M. O’Brien said in a statement.
