An Amazon delivery driver made many deliveries disappear in a short time. Among them were also 100 PS5 consoles. The damage amounts to around 100,000 euros.
It is not uncommon for ordered deliveries to disappear on their way to their destination. This can be particularly frustrating for the recipient. But even when an order arrives, it can contain an unpleasant surprise.
If the disappearance of packages involves theft, the damage amount can be very high. In a large theft of Amazon packages in France, according to our colleagues from 3DJuegos.com, 100 PS5 gaming consoles and other goods worth 100,000 euros have now been stolen.

What was stolen? The stolen goods comprised various Amazon deliveries. Among the packages were clothing, leather goods, perfumes, and other valuables.
In addition, there were many electronic devices. Among these, the French authorities found coffee machines, vacuum cleaners, laptops, and PC monitors.
However, the bulk of the loot consisted of around 100 PS5 gaming consoles. Their total value is said to be approximately 100,000 euros. A large sum, but nothing compared to the fine that Sony now has to pay in France.
What mistake led to the arrest? After more and more shipments had disappeared, the shipping giant became skeptical. The two perpetrators quickly came under suspicion. Both men were arrested by the French police on the company premises.
During their arrest, several packages containing PS5 consoles were found still in the driver’s cabin of the van. Additionally, they were using forged documents. During their first hearing, both confessed to the crime.
Where were the stolen packages found? The Amazon employee and an accomplice used an additional apartment to hide the countless packages. In his role as a package delivery driver, he was able to gradually collect the stolen deliveries there.
After their arrest, they initially provided a different address. However, investigators did not find anything there. Through their work, the authorities were finally able to locate the second apartment and discovered the stolen goods.
Almost 30 years before the PS5, Sony wanted to enter the console business. The joint gaming console with Nintendo was unfortunately never offered for sale. As there is only one known example of the joint console from Nintendo and Sony, a YouTuber used the last known prototype as a template to build his own Nintendo PlayStation: Sony and Nintendo buried their joint console 33 years ago – A YouTuber simply builds his own version
