Drivers Unwittingly Involved in Package Theft Attempt

In Norfolk, Massachusetts, a clever but failed attempt to steal packages involved using food delivery drivers. The town's police were called to a home on Pennacook Street after reports of suspicious activity. They found that three DoorDash drivers had visited the address within a short time span to pick up packages, even though no one at the property had requested the pick-up.

Earlier that day, three packages had been delivered, two of which contained Apple products. Authorities suspect that someone used DoorDash's package pick-up service to trick drivers into stealing the packages. This service allows users to enter an address and package details for drivers to collect. DoorDash has been contacted for comment, and the investigation continues. Anyone with information is urged to contact the police. Package thefts are common, so residents are reminded to track their packages, choose secure delivery locations, and consider installing security systems.
