MEDFORD, Massachusetts (WBZ) — The police are seeking the public’s help in identifying an Amazon delivery driver who allegedly stole a UPS package from a home in Medford.
It happened around 1:45 on Wednesday when the driver dropped off the Amazon package and allegedly took a previously delivered UPS package. Inside the stolen package were a pair of “difficult to find” limited-edition “Stranger Things” Converse sneakers for a young girl, according to Medford Police.
“While we truly appreciate the many hardworking delivery drivers during the holiday season, this Grinch-like behavior crossed the line,” Medford Police said in a Facebook post.
Anyone who may recognize the suspect or vehicle is asked to call Medford Police at 781-391-6767.
“Let’s work together to make sure this story ends with the sneakers back where they belong, under the tree, and help keep our community safe this holiday season.”
Medford is around 6 miles northwest of Boston.

Then check with your neighbors before contacting the carrier and the seller 48 hours after the package was meant to be delivered. If your package is marked as undeliverable or missing, then contact Amazon or the third-party seller.
If the USPS delivered your package, they recommend submitting a report through their website. If your mailbox was damaged from the alleged theft, they ask that you notify your local police. For more information, click here.
