NASHUA, N.H. — An Amazon Flex driver from Massachusetts is accused of never delivering packages, authorities said.
According to a news release from the Nashua Police Department in New Hampshire, Rebecca Daigle, 23, of Fitchburg, was arrested Wednesday and charged with theft by unauthorized taking.
On Sept. 30, 2022, members of the department’s Uniform Field Operations Bureau responded to a theft call at an Amazon distribution facility, police said. Officers learned that on Aug. 29, Daigle, in her capacity as an Amazon Flex driver, picked up “multiple packages” and did not deliver them to their destinations in Massachusetts, WFXT-TV reported.
Amazon states on its website that a Flex driver is paid to use their own vehicle to deliver packages for the company, allowing for a more flexible work schedule.
Detectives from the criminal investigation division were able to issue a warrant for Daigle’s arrest.
If convicted, Daigle faces up to seven years of prison and possible fines, WFXT reported.
Daigle was released on a personal recognizance bond, police said. She is scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment on Jan. 12, 2023.
