An Amazon delivery driver has gone viral after he casually dropped off a package in the middle of an armed police standoff.
A recent video on TikTok shows an Amazon worker in Raleigh, North Carolina, US, driving into a cul-de-sac full of armed police officers without a care in the world.
In the footage, which was filmed on March 18, the driver nonchalantly walks past the armed officers looking for the customer's door.
The person recording the video can be heard saying: "Amazon hard at work. In the midst of a standoff, he's going to deliver his package."
When the driver arrives he pulls out a small box on the driveway much to the bafflement of officers.
Police immediately tell the Amazon worker to stop walking as they take the customer's box off him. The driver then walks back to his van after taking a quick picture of the scene as evidence.

At least six police cars were at the scene with the reason behind the standoff still unknown.
At the time of writing over 7million people have viewed the TikTok video with many users laughing at the man's dedication to the job.
One person replied: "Amazon Delivery Person: listen, I got a job to do and it doesn't matter what y'all doing. This package will be delivered today."
Another joked: "When Amazon says guaranteed [sic] delivery date they really mean it."
However, there were comments underneath the video from Amazon drivers who admitted if delivery drivers failed to deliver their packages they could lose their jobs.
One driver claimed: "It was either deliver the package or get fired" whilst another backed up their claims: "If you didn't deliver all your packages you'd get in trouble."
It comes after Amazon's treatment of their delivery drivers has long been called into question.
The company was accused of stealing drivers' tips in a "deceptive, illegal scheme that tricked consumers into thinking they were increasing drivers' compensation when Amazon was actually diverting tips to reduce its own labor costs and increase profits", according to a lawsuit filed by then-Washington, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine in December.
Mr Racine said in 2021 the company had stolen nearly $62 million (£50 million) in tips as he slammed the internet shopping giant for not giving 100% of the tips to delivery drivers.
"Consumers need to know where their tips are going. This suit is about providing workers the tips they are owed and telling consumers the truth," Mr Racine said.
"Amazon, one of the world's wealthiest companies, certainly does not need to take tips that belong to workers. Amazon can and should do better."
