An Amazon delivery driver is accused of stealing packages from the Sweetwater warehouse, according to his arrest report.

The manager at the warehouse, located in the 13000 block of Northwest 14th Street, called police Monday to tell officers about 20 missing packages that had never been delivered.

The manager confronted driver Diego Alejandro Santana-Caner, 25, who provided her with a statement that was redacted from the arrest report. The manager also told officers that she had security camera footage of Santana-Caner stealing food from the warehouse lunchroom, according to the report.

Police arrested Santana-Caner on charges of dealing in stolen property and grand theft. On Tuesday, he was being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a bond of $10,000.
