Fake Amazon Delivery Truck Prowling NYC Streets

(TJVNEWS.COM) A user on the Brooklyn chapter of the NextDoor social media platform posted a video earlier this month of what appears to be an Amazon delivery driver “loading up barricades into an Amazon truck.”

The NextDoor user, who goes by the nickname “L.W.,” wrote a post that said, “On Driggs Ave near the corner of Russell, I saw a man loading up barricades into an Amazon truck. He would pause when a car would go by, closing the doors and then resume when no one was around”- Zero Hedge pointed out.

L.W. continued: “I called down from my window asking him what he was doing and he replied that the city told him to bring them back. I then asked (ridiculous of course, but putting him on the spot) if Amazon worked for the city. He mumbled something to the effect of yes. I started filming again after that exchange, and when he saw this, he cursed me out before driving away with the barricades.”

One would assume the barricades are being stolen for scrap metal.

Motherboard reached out to Amazon about the video and  Amazon spokesperson Jenna Hilzenrath said, “the vehicle in the video is a counterfeit vehicle and we’re actively working with the NYPD as they investigate the incident.”

The New York City Police Department told Motherboard that “the investigation is active and ongoing.” No other questions were answered.
