Shocking moment a group of brazen thieves loot Amazon delivery truck … as helpless delivery driver looks on
This is the shocking moment a group of brazen thieves ransacked an Amazon van as the helpless driver looked on.
A group of about six thieves, who looked like young boys, raided a large walk-in truck after the driver left the door wide open.
They frantically packed boxes as the female driver watched from a nearby sidewalk and did nothing.
She seemed fed up with the robbers who snuck up on her while she was delivering other packages at an apartment complex believed to be in Atlanta, Georgia.
It is unclear what exactly was stolen from the truck and who the thieves were.
Some of the young thieves (pictured) emerged from the truck, while the others immediately sat in the back of the open van

The video begins with the Amazon truck parked in the complex’s parking lot as three thieves jump out through the front steps near the driver’s seat.
Another wearing a black hoodie and tan pants quickly grabs a nearby box and runs away while the rest pick up their goods.
The person recording is laughing the whole time and says, “These n***** hit the gang’s truck.”
One of the thieves even falls to the ground as he rounds the corner of the truck, but quickly gets back up and grabs a large brown Amazon box.
The video then cuts to the Amazon worker in her blue vest and hat as she stares at the group of looters invading the vehicle.
She then looks at her device before the camera moves back into the truck, as one of the robbers in a red jacket and white hoodie uses both hands and runs away with a large package.
Suddenly, another thief jumps down from behind and stumbles as a large box escapes his hands and partially opens just before he fixes it and runs away.
The driver is still watching as they all run away and says something to them, but it is inaudible.
The video ends with a thief, wearing a navy blue hoodie and a black face mask, running away on another sidewalk with the hefty box in hand.

An overwhelming number of responses were ashamed of the thieves’ actions and said they felt sorry for the driver

One commenter said: ‘I don’t find this funny at all. Say goodbye to getting deliveries in that area in the future!’
“Unfortunately the driver will be fired for leaving the door unlocked, but they are on a super tight schedule and leaving it open probably saves time,” said another.
According to InsiderThere are approximately 275,000 Amazon delivery drivers in the US who typically deliver 170 to 350 packages per shift, depending on location.
Amazon drivers are independent contractors, meaning they do not work directly for Amazon, but are hired by a third party.
The drivers also experience pressure to meet delivery rates and complete their routes within a certain time.
Other commenters laughed at the robbers who robbed the truck when one said, “I hope they enjoy my shipment of Preparation H.”
“Everyone is jumping to conclusions and not thinking about the fact that this group of scientists is just helping this woman deliver all these packages,” said another.
Another commenter said this would mean no more deliveries would be made in the area
A small number of commenters found the incident comical, with one insisting the thieves were helping the woman deliver her parcels for the day.
Another joked about what could have been in the boxes the thieves randomly took
It is unclear what happened to the thieves or what happened to the driver as a result of the stolen packages.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Amazon for comment but has not yet heard back.
The news comes after a foul-mouthed Amazon driver told a nine-year-old to “just open the damn door.”
The child’s father, Peter, who declined to give his last name, said his son Oscar answered the door on Oct. 25.
He said: ‘It was early evening, it had just gotten dark. He came back and said the Amazon guy just cursed at me.
Peter said he reported the foul-mouthed driver to Amazon and would contact him within “24 to 48 hours.”
Amazon said at the time that they were “investigating this” and that they were “in direct contact with the customer.”
