In a startling turn of events, an Amazon delivery driver in Atlanta, Georgia, reportedly tried to make off with a customer’s beloved canine companion right from his delivery truck.

According to Terrika Currence, her daughter raised the alarm after witnessing the driver enticing their Red Nose Pitbull into his vehicle. Currence managed to capture the tense encounter on video, showing the pup inside the truck while the driver, his face obscured, exits with hands raised in apparent surprise. Fortunately, Currence intervened, retrieving her furry friend from the perplexed driver.

“He literally told me the dog was pretty and that he would love to have a puppy,” Currence revealed in an interview with Atlanta News First. “But I wasn’t thinking he was going to take my puppy.”

The incident has left Currence’s daughter understandably shaken, instilling a lingering fear that every delivery driver might harbour ill intentions towards their pet.

Amazon swiftly responded to the incident, expressing regret and confirming that the driver involved has been relieved of duties. They have also engaged law enforcement to aid in the investigation.

Meanwhile, Henry County police are actively looking into the matter, aiming to uncover the truth behind this alarming incident.

This isn’t the first peculiar episode involving Amazon drivers. In Florida, an Amazon delivery person was hospitalised after being bitten by a venomous rattlesnake, while in California, another driver made headlines for taking an impromptu dive into a homeowner’s pool. And across the pond in the UK, an Amazon driver faced accusations of unsavoury behaviour after allegedly urinating on a couple’s driveway.

As investigations unfold, the bizarre saga continues to raise eyebrows and spark concerns over the conduct of delivery personnel. Stay tuned for updates as this curious case develops.
