The Grinch who Stole Christmas: Police recover stolen parcels after delivery driver pinches them
More than 120 Christmas presents have been pinched by a delivery driver, prompting a police investigation.
An evidence store room is bursting at the seams with undelivered Christmas presents after a delivery driver pinched them.
Southampton Police took to social media, saying: “Last week, we received a report that a delivery driver in the city was believed to have stolen more than 120 parcels, when managers for the company became concerned deliveries were not being completed.
“Following some initial enquiries, officers from our response team attended an address in Bassett in the early hours of this morning (December 22).”
A 24-year-old man from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of theft after a large haul of items were seized from the property.
He remains in custody, with the police saying they will be working hard to try and track down the rightful owners of the items.
