Amazon Delivery Driver Caught On Camera Spitting On Package

An Amazon delivery driver was caught on video appearing to spit on his hand and wiping it on a package delivered to a resident’s door in Hancock Park.

Amazon quickly responded by letting the public know that the diver is no longer delivering packages for the company.

The video — which has been circulating all over social media — says that the incident happened Thursday around 6:00 PM. The recipient, who wish to remain anonymous — noticed that the package was wet and thought maybe a dog urinated on it. The resident then checked on her Ring camera and noticed the horror.

FOX 11 Los Angeles reports:

The residents quickly decontaminated themselves and called police and Amazon. We also reached out to the company who told us the delivery person is no longer delivering packages for Amazon.  The company issued a statement saying in part:

“We are aggressively investigating to understand what may have occurred in this situation. If it truly was a malicious act by the driver, we will be sure he is held accountable, up through and including law enforcement action.”

Meanwhile, residents say they posted the incident on social media to warn their neighbors and Tammy Minoff is glad they did. 

The package recipients said they weren’t sure if the incident was deliberate but they called it reckless during the pandemic.

LAPD hasn’t released any statements about this incident.
