MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested an Amazon delivery driver they said was stealing items meant for customers.
Andy Manuel Garcia Machado, 29, of southwest Miami-Dade, was taken into custody on a grand theft charge Monday at the Amazon warehouse at 13320 SW 132nd Ave., near Miami Executive Airport.
According to an MDSO arrest report, a loss prevention employee called authorities to report that since Garcia Machado’s hire on Nov. 19, “she has noticed multiple high-value items being reported as missing” by Garcia Machado, totaling $1,757.
“These items include a PlayStation console, solar panel, Bluetooth speaker, watch, air purifier and a Snickers bar,” a deputy wrote.
Deputies said on Monday, the loss prevention employee “confronted (him) about the items which he reported as missing, at which point, he confessed to her that he had reported them as missing and taken the items for himself instead of delivering them to customers of Amazon.”
According to the report, Garcia Machado admitted to the deputy “that he had purposefully marked the items as delivered, subsequently taking them home and selling them privately to make money.”
As of Tuesday morning, Garcia Machado was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $2,500 bond. Additionally, the Cuban national has been placed on an immigration hold.
