Amazon employee arrested and jailed


According to foreign media reports, an Amazon employee was recently arrested on suspicion of stealing goods worth more than $19,000 .


Amazon's loss prevention team reportedly noticed an employee hiding an Apple MacBook while walking to his vehicle .


After being discovered, the employee admitted that he had stolen goods in his vehicle and apartment. Subsequently, Amazon's loss prevention team found more than $19,000 worth of goods in his car. Sacramento County police found more than 130 stolen goods belonging to Amazon in the employee's apartment.


According to photos released by police, the more than 130 stolen Amazon items included Apple Macbooks , headphones, video game equipment, computer and video game accessories, watches, power tools and blankets .

 

The Sacramento County Police Department did not reveal the employee's identity, but confirmed that he had been jailed for grand theft and embezzlement. Let him face the law next...


This isn't the first time Amazon employees have stolen merchandise.




The case involved 500,000 euros.


5 Amazon employees arrested


Last November, Spanish police arrested five employees at Amazon's largest warehouse in Spain, San Fernando de Henares, on charges of stealing 500,000 euros ( about 3.88 million yuan ) in mobile phones.


It is understood that it all started with an internal investigation by the company's security department, which found that some high-value mobile phones had been swapped.


Amazon security launched an investigation when it discovered that the export weights of five packages in the distribution area did not match the import weights of the center.


After discovering that the package did not contain the high-end mobile phone the customer had purchased, the police reported the case immediately. The police successfully found the suspect using security cameras hidden at the theft scene. When they arrested him, they seized 10 high-end mobile phones and a large number of IMEI stickers with the unique logo of each machine.


In recent years, there have been frequent cases of theft by Amazon employees and lost items. Recently, there was another incident where a group of Amazon packages were discarded!




Another Amazon package dumped on the roadside



According to foreign media reports, recently, a British man parked his car on the side of the road and accidentally discovered dozens of Amazon packages scattered along the A1 motorway outside St Neots, Cambridgeshire . He took photos of the scene and posted them on his Facebook account.


It is reported that an Amazon logistics warehouse is located on Stickley Ranch, 8 miles away from where the package was dropped.

 

From the pictures shared by the man on Facebook, it can be seen that there is a bright red package bag used by Amazon employees among the trees and bushes. About 20 packages were taken out of the mail bag and placed on the ground, with the customer's address on the package. Most of the packages have been opened and there is nothing inside. Thin paper used to wrap the goods is also scattered on the roadside.


Labels on the parcels showed that most were sent to customers in Croydon, south London.


Amazon launched an investigation after the incident. An Amazon spokesperson said: " We are actively investigating this matter. "


Amazon has seen frequent incidents of lost items this year:

Around mid-February, a driver passing near Brook Street discovered more than 20 Amazon packages abandoned in the woods, and police in a small town in Massachusetts, USA, subsequently launched an investigation into the matter.


At the end of February, a New York man, Kevin Harrington, found about 20 undelivered Amazon packages on the roadside. When he notified Amazon, Amazon asked him to handle the packages in an appropriate manner.


Although working for Amazon is always full of surprises, it is still a bit unexpected to find goods abandoned on the roadside. Therefore, after the goods are shipped, sellers should always pay attention to the logistics tracking information of the goods. Once any abnormality is found, they should contact Amazon customer service in time.
