The thief approached the driver at about 5:30 p.m. before showing that he had a gun, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Drake Madison told the Daily Breeze. The driver got out of the vehicle, allowing the thief to get in and drive away. The driver was not hurt in the exchange.

“We’re committed to the safety of drivers who deliver our packages,” an Amazon spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times. “We’re looking into the incident and supporting law enforcement with their investigation.”

The van was eventually recovered, with some packages missing, Madison said. LAPD did not disclose the number of packages stolen or the identity of the suspect.
