@gertrudecloset And I wonder how much of these things ended up on Ebay, CraigsList and the like. Shameful.

Three people have been arrested in the theft of thousands of undelivered Amazon packages, Oklahoma investigators say. In addition to the thousands of packages found scattered throughout an Oklahoma home, 600 more were found dumped last week about 30 miles northeast of downtown Oklahoma City, McClatchy News reported earlier this week. Within the rubble of packages was a clue — a garbage bag that contained an envelope with an address on it, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office said. As deputies investigated the packages they found dumped in rural Oklahoma County, they received a warrant to search a home about three miles away.

Deputies say Cesar Yasnier Cerqueira Rojas was working as a third-party driver for Amazon and was delivering packages in a truck owned by Dinneris Matos Delgado. Rojas is believed to have “loaded extra pallets onto the truck before bringing them to the home and opening them there.”

Rojas and Delgado were both arrested, as was Maikel Perez Laurencio, who is also a third-party driver, the sheriff’s office said. All three face 15 felony counts of possession of stolen property and embezzlement, according to deputies. Additional sites where packages were dumped were also uncovered by the Luther Police Department, it announced Wednesday, Jan. 5. Earlier this week, deputies encouraged people missing items to not contact the sheriff’s office, McClatchy News reported.

Small town organized crime. It's running rampant.

A neighbor that lives across the street from the home where the stolen packages were found, said the suspects moved in six months ago.

She said there were red flags after semi-trucks started showing up at the home.

“It immediately was really weird. We were scared to the point where we wouldn’t even let our children play outside,” the neighbor said. “Semi-trucks in and out all day. Sometimes they’d come around three in the morning.”

She said a group of women visited the house once a week and cleaned the trucks.

As previously reported, Cesar Yasnier Cerqueira Rojas, Dinneris Matos Delgado and Maikel Perez Laurencio were arrested on the scene and charged with 15 felony counts of possession of stolen property and embezzlement. Rojas was working as a third-party driver for Amazon and using Delgado's truck, according to police. Laurencio reportedly was working as a third-party driver as well.

Both Rojas and Laurencio are undocumented immigrants, according to the sheriff's office.

However, officers are still working to verify their identities and are not certain their identifications are authentic.

Since the four books I ordered in November for Christmas gifts have never shown up, guess this is a clue. The news said this has happened many times before...and is said to be mostly due to the impossible delivery timelines drivers are expected to meet...and when they realize there is no way to accomplish it, they just dump the goods and walk away. Bad system, especially now that no one really believes that next day delivery is a real thing anymore anyway.
