Driver for Amazon caught on camera pooping, peeing outside homes in California

Miami Herald13-05-2025
A driver making Amazon deliveries caught on video relieving herself outside the homes of two Los Angeles-area customers will no longer work for the company, Amazon said.
Tamara Bedoy told KTTV that her husband discovered the driver had pooped on the front porch of their Woodland Hills home when he went out to pick up a package on Mother's Day.
Home security video shows the driver walking away pulling up her pants, leaving a pile of feces on the porch, KTLA reported.
A video sent to the station by another family a short distance away also shows the driver urinating on a brick walkway inside a wooden gate, KTLA said.
'It's really gross and then to find out a little bit later that she did it again about 30 minutes after she left my house, she went to someone else's house, then did the same thing. That's malicious, personal, disgusting,' Bedoy told KTTV.
Amazon apologized for the incidents in a statement sent to McClatchy News and said the driver was an independent contractor.
'We're deeply disturbed by the unacceptable behavior of this delivery driver and apologize to the customers involved,' Amazon spokesman Richard Rocha said in the statement.
'We immediately identified the driver and they are no longer delivering on behalf of Amazon,' he said.
Woodland Hills is about a 25-mile drive northwest from downtown Los Angeles.

New details surface on Dodgers' $1 million pledge during ICE raids in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Dodgers offered no timeline on June 20 when they announced they had committed $1 million 'toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region.'' Almost eight weeks later, with protests over the Dodgers' response to the immigration raids having ended, a non-profit group working with the team provided new details. The $1 million will be distributed to 1,000 households, each which will receive $1,000 by the end of the month, according to California Community Foundation (CCF), a philanthropic organization in Los Angeles. 'The Dodgers' generous gift of $1 million to the CCF LA Neighbors Fund will provide relief to 1,000 Los Angeles households struggling to meet their basic needs due to the immigration raids,'' CCF said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. 'Each will receive $1,000 in direct cash relief, delivered before the end of August 2025, as cash cards through trusted community partners in partnership with the City of Los Angeles." The Dodgers did not immediately respond to requests for comment USA TODAY Sports submitted by text message. Since June 6, ICE and CBP have made more than 4,200 arrests in the Los Angeles area, according to Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin. 'We will continue to enforce the law and remove the worst of the worst,'' McLaughlin told USA TODAY Sports by email. The Dodgers, who have enjoyed longtime support from the Latino community, were criticized for failing to address the immigration crackdown for two weeks prior to announcing the commitment of $1 million. The day before the announcement, the team said that it had denied ICE agents access to parking lots at Dodger Stadium. Until that point, the Dodgers had issued no statement related to the raids that triggered sometimes-violent protests downtown. "What's happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected,'' Dodgers president Stan Kasten said in a statement at the time of the announcement. "We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles.' Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, in a June 21 news release about the team's commitment, thanked the Dodgers 'for leading with this action to support the immigrant community of Los Angeles.'' That same day, however, protesters returned to Dodger Stadium and at least two held signs that read, 'Dodgers want you to shut up for $1 million.'' Others criticized the Dodgers for not giving more. More than 200 donors, including the Dodgers, have helped raise $2.6 million for the CCF LA Neighbors Fund, 'which will provide additional resources to the City of LA's assistance program as well as nonprofit organizations providing direct aid to people across the County who are in need as a result of the ongoing raids,'' according to the statement CCF provided USA TODAY Sports.

Jeff Bezos Mugs Amazon Warehouse Worker At Gunpoint

KENOSHA, WI—After lurking in a fulfillment center parking lot until employees had finished their 12-hour shift, Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos reportedly mugged one of his company's warehouse workers at gunpoint Friday. 'Just take out your wallet real slow and drop it into my hands—no sudden movements!' said Bezos, his face obscured behind a ski mask as he brandished a Colt pistol in the inventory handler's face, shouting at him to quit crying and empty his pockets of any valuables. 'Only $7? What the hell is this? I should blow your fucking brains out right now. At least I got your health insurance card, so you can't use that anymore. Give me that iPhone 8, and your sneakers, too.' Reached for comment, local law enforcement confirmed a manhunt was in progress for Bezos, who is said to have fled the scene by private jet.

Urgent warning issued as dangerous fake Labubu dolls flood UK market

Fake Labubu dolls that could pose a choking hazard for young children have flooded the UK market, a consumer standards body has warned. Legitimate Labubu toys, created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung and sold by Chinese toymaker Pop Mart, have become a viral and profitable sensation around the world. The palm-sized plushie, which has a bunny body, elf-like face and sharp teeth, is so popular that genuine versions are becoming increasingly difficult to come by. In May, Pop Mart announced that it was temporarily suspending all in-store sales of the collectible across the UK following chaotic scenes of crowd surges and reported fights. Last week, thieves in the Los Angeles area broke into a store and made off with thousands of dollars worth of stock. The toy's massive popularity has led to a wave of fakes, and many have been deemed unsafe, according to Britain's Chartered Trading Standards Institute. In a warning it described as 'urgent' on its website, the CTSI reported that thousands of dangerous counterfeits have been seized by their teams across the country, often as a result of complaints from parents. 'Counterfeit Labubu dolls are poorly made and unsafe,' the news release warned. 'Many contain small, detachable parts such as eyes, hands, and feet, which present a serious choking hazard to young children. Loose stitching and exposed stuffing further increase the risk of suffocation.' It added: 'Without proper safety checks, they may also contain toxic substances such as lead, harmful dyes, or banned plasticisers.' Last month, CNN reported on the massive production of fake Labubus in China, with the cheap copycats dubbed 'Lafufus.' Chinese customs officials are said to have seized many thousands of these that were intended for export since June alone. Consumers can tell if a doll is genuine by certain markers, including a holographic Pop Mart sticker, a scannable QR code linking to the company's website and a UV stamp on one of the feet. These are 'commonly missing or poorly replicated' on fakes, the CTSI said. Another tell-tale sign can be the number of teeth. Genuine dolls have nine, while fakes may vary. Overly vibrant colors and poor stitching can also indicate the doll is not the real deal. Kerry Nicol, external affairs manager at CTSI, said in the release that the demand has been 'amplified' by social media. 'Supply and demand means that legitimate Labubu dolls are almost impossible to find,' she said. 'These fake products bypass the rigorous safety checks and compliance requirements the law demands, meaning they could contain choking hazards, toxic materials, or faulty components that put children at serious risk. Everyone involved in the supply chain – from manufacturers and fulfilment houses to sellers and marketplaces should have a role to play in ensuring unsafe toys never reach the hands of children.' Pop Mart have been contacted for comment. Olivia Kemp contributed to this report.
