DoorDasher makes delivery, then takes off with Northglenn man's packages
NORTHGLENN, Colo. (KDVR) — It's an incident caught on camera that one Northglenn man couldn't believe.
A DoorDash delivery driver was stealing his packages right from his front door while dropping off food to his neighbor. The entire encounter took less than 30 seconds.

'So, they dropped it off at the door per usual. I never had problems before,' said Alex Teufel.
Alex is referring to his Pokémon cards he has been selling online to help make extra money. They were delivered just before 4:30 p.m. on April 21 in the 12000 block of Claude Court in Northglenn.
'I came out two hours after it had been delivered and it was gone,' he said.
Alex learned his neighbors had ordered food through DoorDash before the situation. His neighbor's surveillance camera appeared to catch the delivery guy not just dropping off the food, but then swiping his package in the process..
'It was a little strange. The video, especially,' said Alex. 'It's one thing if it's word of mouth.'
Alex says he reported the situation to police and his neighbors shared the encounter with DoorDash, but there's been no resolution.
'As far as I know, the neighbors that got the order, they weren't given much information,' said Alex. 'Just the first name of the driver and they will follow up.'
He estimates the packages were worth around $300.
'So, nothing like extremely detrimental, but more than I can afford to lose,' said Alex.

Reflecting on the situation, Alex knows he may not be able to retrieve his items, but he wants to make sure to share his story so others are vigilant.
'It seems pretty easy for them to do it, but then again, there's also bad apples,' said Alex. 'I hope that maybe this brings like, hey, wake up these guys, not all of them are doing the right things when they are doing their jobs.'
We reached out to DoorDash, and a spokesperson sent this statement.
'The video clearly shows this individual brazenly doing the wrong thing and stealing. We've deactivated the Dasher account and will reach out to the neighbor to help make things right. We have no tolerance for stealing or theft.'

Wanted man arrested for reckless driving, other charges in Mt. Juliet after making DoorDash delivery
MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WKRN) — A DoorDash driver is facing multiple charges after a traffic stop for speeding in Mt. Juliet Saturday night reportedly led to the discovery of drugs, as well as an outstanding warrant. According to the Mt. Juliet Police Department, an officer spotted a Jeep Renegade 'flying down' Interstate 40 West, going 93 mph in a 70 mph zone, on Saturday, June 7. However, after the vehicle was safely stopped, law enforcement realized this wasn't a simple speeding case. Several injured after skydiving plane crashes in Tullahoma 'The driver—a 34-year-old man from Nashville—had just dropped off a DoorDash delivery and was still in a rush, driving recklessly and endangering others on the road,' officials said. The MJPD said the officer discovered the driver had an outstanding warrant out of Nashville for violation of probation, which was tied to a felony aggravated assault conviction. In addition, the man was reportedly driving on a revoked license. Then, when authorities searched the vehicle, they said they found five chalky blue pills — suspected to be pressed fentanyl — hidden in a cigarette pack. Law enforcement said they arrested the driver, who now faces charges for reckless driving, driving on a revoked license, possession of fentanyl, and the outstanding warrant.

DENVER (KDVR) – Over 100 charges have been formally filed against the suspect in the Boulder, Colorado, terror attack that injured 15 people on Sunday. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, faces 118 charges. He is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails into a group of people who were holding a peaceful gathering at the Pearl Street Mall. Soliman also faces a federal hate crime charge. Boulder attack now has 15 victims, officials say Charges were filed by the 20th Judicial District Attorney's Office on Thursday. The charges are for various alleged crimes, including: 28 counts: Criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree 5 counts: Assault in the first-degree – at-risk person 4 counts: Assault in the first-degree 1 count: Assault in the third degree 5 counts: Criminal attempt to commit assault in the first degree 2 counts: Use of explosives or incendiary devices 16 counts: Attempt to commit use of explosives or incendiary devices 1 count: Cruelty to animals 56 counts: Crime of violence Soliman, from Egypt, overstayed his tourist visa and was living in the country illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. His wife and five children were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). An FBI affidavit said Soliman confessed to the attack and allegedly told the police he would do it again. According to the criminal complaint, the suspect told police he had been planning the attack for a year and waited until after his daughter's graduation to attack. He told investigators he researched and specifically targeted a 'Zionist group.' Witnesses describe 'terrifying' scene of attack at Pearl Street Mall in Boulder The group was holding a demonstration, which the city of Boulder said is a weekly peaceful event, as part of the Run for Their Lives organization, according to the complaint. The group hosts global running and walking events where local communities meet once a week to call for the release of the hostages held by Hamas. Authorities said 15 people and one dog were hurt. The victims range in age from 25 to 88, including one who is a Holocaust survivor. During a press conference on Thursday, officials announced that three people remained in the hospital from the attack. The hearing on Thursday at the Boulder County Jail lasted for three minutes. Soliman was present in a livestream wearing an orange jumpsuit. He stood in a sectioned-off area of the courtroom that was not visible to the public, with a glass wall separating the public from Soliman, the attorneys and the judge. Members of the public were present, but there were no victims sitting on the benches that were designated for them. The judge asked Soliman a couple of questions, including one about when the next hearing would take place and another on whom he must not contact as this court process moves forward. 'The people had also asked for a protective order on the 4th of June. Does the defendant want to respond to that motion, or are you content with me ruling on it without a formal response?' District Court Judge Nancy Salomone asked. 'We have no objection to that request at this time,' Soliman's Defense attorney, Kathryn Herold, said. FBI warns of threat to Israeli, Jewish communities after Boulder attack, others Herold is the public defender who represented the man convicted in the 2021 Boulder King Soopers supermarket shooting, in which 10 people were killed. The Boulder County Assistant District Attorney in the Soliman case is Ken Kupfner, who also helped prosecute the King Soopers case. Soliman's next hearing on state charges is on July 15. A federal hearing on the hate crime charge is scheduled for Friday afternoon at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Denver. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
