An Amazon delivery driver has been caught on camera stealing a parcel from a customer’s doorstep.
The male delivery driver dropped off a parcel in Nottingham but picked up a separate package left by a postman earlier that day.
Amazon launched an investigation into the incident after receiving a complaint from a cul-de-sac in Sneinton in May.
A mobile phone purchased from Ebay for £225 was left by Royal Mail that morning.
However, it went missing by the time the Amazon delivery driver left in the afternoon.
Resident Rosa Vasa shared the footage of the theft captured by her Ring doorbell online in a bid to warn other people.
She told the BBC: “I think sometimes people need money to support their own problems.
“It’s heart-breaking, my son worked hard to get the money for the phone.

“We shared the video, and people have been supportive, the community has been really helpful. I think people will be more alert now.”
Vasa’s son Nahum Brodskis purchased the mobile phone.
The 18-year-old student bought the item through money he earned alongside his studies.
He said: “It’s been frustrating. You get in contact and speak to one person, then you have to speak to another.

“I’d like them to do more background checks when they hire their drivers, it might help stop these sorts of petty crimes.”
An Amazon spokesman said: “We have very high standards for the delivery service providers we work with and how they serve customers.
“We are investigating the incident.”
