CCTV captures moment delivery driver 'takes honey from honesty box without leaving money'

CCTV footage shows the moment a delivery driver appears to help himself to honey without leaving any money in the honesty box.

Jamie Fullerton, 30, sells a small selection of produce, including honey, eggs, and jam, at the end of his drive and asks customers to leave money in an honesty box.

But over the last couple of months, he's noticed produce has been taken without paying for it, reports Grimsby Live.

To find out what was going on, he and his partner Joanne checked their CCTV footage and were shocked to see what they believed was an Amazon delivery driver get out of his van and take honey from the box and not leave money.

Jamie, from North Lincolnshire, said: "We've never had any problem like this before, living in the middle of nowhere - it's rare we ever get anyone round here.

"However, we soon realised that the incidents only happened when we'd received a delivery. In this instance, it happened at about 2.30pm on Saturday, November 5.

"I have to say, when we saw it all on the camera, it came as a bit of a surprise. The box has been there about 18 months and we'd never had a problem before all this.

"We were shocked more than anything, but also a bit annoyed. I know the honey that was taken is only about £4.50 a jar, but it's still annoying.

In response, a spokesperson for Amazon said: "We have very high standards for the delivery service providers we work with and how they serve customers.

"While it’s not clear what the video shows, we are investigating the report."

Meanwhile, a dad was left fuming after a delivery driver "stole" a football from his eight-year-old son.

CCTV captured the moment the DPD worker took the ball after youngsters kicked it over a garden wall in Torpoint, Cornwall, on October 28.

Dad Stuart Martin demanded the driver be disciplined.

DPD later apologised and the driver returned the football to Stuart, telling him he “didn’t see or hear” the children.

In the CCTV footage, the driver can be seen waiting at a junction while two children ask for their football back.

The driver then reverses back down the road only to pick up the ball and drive off.
