A shocking video has surfaced, capturing a group of hooded men stealing multiple packages from a DPD truck that was parked on the street. The incident, which took place on Whitebarn Lane in Dagenham, East London, shows the thieves unloading various parcels from the truck and loading them into their own car. ASOS and Amazon packages were among the items being snatched, while the delivery driver was nowhere to be seen.
The brazen and disgusting actions of these thieves have caused outrage, especially considering that this incident reportedly occurred in broad daylight this morning. It's not uncommon for crime rates to rise during the holiday season, as reported by UK Crime Stats. In light of this, both DPD and the Metropolitan Police have been contacted for official statements.
The CCTV footage from Nottingham, just a few days prior, shows a woman walking into an apartment complex and stealing Amazon parcels. She was dressed in all black and seemed to be familiar with the area, quickly making her escape after stacking a few items on top of each other. Nottinghamshire Police are currently investigating and believe that this is not the first time this woman has targeted the communal area for theft.
Unfortunately, package thefts are a growing issue not just in the UK, but also in other parts of the world. In a particularly bold and swift move, a porch thief in the US snatched a package just moments after the FedEx driver had dropped it off. The incident was caught on a doorbell camera, showing the driver helplessly informing the resident that their package had just been taken. The shocked recipient, Kyle Dorsch, had ordered an Apple Watch and was left speechless by what had just happened.
In other news, London is set to receive a new mega-cycle lane that will run from one side of the city to the other. However, not all developments in the city are positive, as the world's first YMCA has been sold to a hotel chain after 180 years of serving the community. Winter Wonderland, a popular holiday attraction, has also been plagued by pickpockets targeting mobile phones. Stay updated on the latest news from the capital by visiting Metro's London news hub.
