Amazon delivery driver kidnapped and forced to withdraw cash: police
(CROWN) – An Amazon delivery driver in San Ramon was kidnapped following a vehicle collision Saturday afternoon, San Ramon police told KRON4.
Around 3 p.m., the Amazon truck and a dark SUV collided near Crow Canyon Road and San Ramon Valley Boulevard.
There was an unknown man and woman in the SUV. According to police, the woman got into the passenger seat of the Amazon truck and forced the victim to drive to a Bank of America in San Ramon while the man followed in the SUV.
The suspects caused the Amazon driver to withdraw an undisclosed amount of cash from the bank, SRPD said. The Amazon employee was then forced to drive to a Bank of America in Dublin.
The transaction at the Dublin bank didn’t work, so the suspects left the delivery driver there. Police reported no injuries to the victim or suspects.
SRPD said the Amazon driver contacted his boss before calling police. The Amazon employee’s boss notified the police about the incident.
KRON4 has asked Amazon for a statement on the incident.
“Thank you for reaching out. We are glad the driver is safe but will contact police for further or official information,” the company said.
SRPD did not provide details of the Bank of America locations where the suspects took the victim. Further information was not immediately available. SRPD will continue to investigate.
