The packages were found in a rural area northeast of Oklahoma City, and many had items from inside the packages removed, CNN reported.
The sheriff’s office said they are working with USPS and Amazon to investigate the case.
There have been a number of recent reports of delivery drivers dumping packages. A FedEx subcontractor was charged after hundreds of packages were found dumped in Alabama, as we previously reported. Police officers in North Carolina also stepped in to deliver packages when a FedEx driver in Greenville dumped packages in a parking lot and the woods, as we previously reported.
