Moment brazen Evri driver flings parcels into huge pile on road before asking fuming local ‘what… are they damaged?'

Emma Morton, who captured the footage on CCTV, said she witnessed the men letting the packages fall out of their van whilst making deliveries in her Cornish village. 4 The delivery men were caught throwing parcels to the ground Credit: CCTV 4 One driver has since been let go by Evri Credit: CCTV 4 One local who witnessed the action claims she was rudely confronted by one of the drivers Credit: CCTV The video shows the two delivery men standing idle whilst almost a dozen packages fall to the ground. The two men can then be seen pulling out more parcels from the van and throwing them on the floor. They are then pictured being confronted by an angry local, who later said she had been expecting a beauty box, which could easily have been broken. She told Cornwall Live: "I was annoyed more than anything else. Luckily, parcels weren't damaged." But despite her innocent bid to save her neighbours' parcels, she said she was met with "disrespect" by a "rude" delivery driver. "[One of the men] was so rude to me after I went out to speak to them. He asked what my problem was and if my parcel was damaged but I said I didn't know," she said. Evri has since let go of one of the drivers and said the behaviour is not a reflection of the firm's standards. In a statement the firm said: "Every parcel matters to us, and this behaviour does not reflect the high standards we usually see from the vast majority of our couriers. "We have investigated the matter and the courier in question, who was providing temporary cover on this day, will no longer be delivering on behalf of Evri." This comes just days after an Iceland delivery driver was caught urinating on a customer's bins.

He said he tried to throw punches and pushed him against the wall in Norwood, South London, last month. Mr Weaver then stood in front of the van to stop him driving off while he was on the phone to police. But the driver is said to have got into the van from the passenger side, and then jumped over to the driver's seat and moved the van. He is said to have driven for around 20 seconds, swerving in the road, before he stopped when he nearly crashed. This also follows a brawl earlier this month between a JustEat driver and a Domino's driver. The video appeared to have been filmed by a bystander, who caught the two delivery drivers squaring up to each other on Military Road in Canterbury. The Just Eat cyclist had grabbed the Domino's driver by the scruff of his clothes and appeared to be shouting something at him. However, the Domino's driver grabbed the other man before trying to get him into a headlock. The men grappled, throwing their arms around each other, before the Uber Eats rider threw the Domino's worker against a red car.

Moment Iceland delivery driver drives off with furious customer on his bonnet after explosive row over him urinating on his bins

This is the moment an Iceland delivery driver drove off with a furious customer on his bonnet after an explosive row sparked by him urinating on his bins. Josh Weaver, 27, claimed the courier became 'aggressive' when he confronted him for taking a toilet break next to the rubbish area of his block of flats. Mr Weaver said he was 'disgusted' and 'shocked' after spotting the brazen act and went over to the Iceland vehicle to confront the driver. But he claimed the courier then got 'aggressive' and slammed him against the van. The customer then called the police, standing in front of the vehicle in Norwood, south London, to prevent the driver from leaving. But instead of staying put, the courier apparently entered the truck from the driver's side and leapt onto the driver's seat so he could move the van. He allegedly drove around 20 seconds before coming to a half when he nearly crashed. 'He's proceeded to drive into me. I got onto the bonnet. He's driving up the road, swerving,' Mr Weaver told The Sun. Afterwards, Mr Weaver - who had spent £50 on the shop - got off the bonnet before the driver sped off. It is not the first incident of alleged wrongdoing by delivery drivers. Last month, one courier was caught on camera walking away with a parcel - after taking a photo of it on a customer's doorstep to let her know it had 'arrived'. Melanie Hawkins was expecting two deliveries at her ex-boyfriend's address in Portsmouth. She said she had been waiting on goods from George at Asda, as well as a £60 package of clothing from Shein. After receiving confirmation from Evri, Melanie popped in to pick up her packages but noticed the parcel of clothes was missing. A delivery driver was spotted placing a cardboard box and one of the packages on the doorstep before snapping a pic Melanie was then even more shocked when she saw CCTV footage showing that her delivery driver wandered in with the goods, then taken off with one package in hand. In the video, the courier is seen bringing two parcels and a cardboard box through the front gate and up to the doorstep. He places the cardboard box on the doorstep and then briefly places one of the packages on the ground - taking a photograph of it for confirmation purposes. However, he is then seen picking up the package again, tucking it under his arm and walking away with it.

Moment Iceland delivery driver speeds off with customer on his BONNET after he was caught weeing on bins

AN Iceland delivery driver drove his van with a customer on the bonnet after a row over him urinating on his bins.

He is said to have driven for around 20 seconds, swerving in the road, before he stopped when he nearly crashed. Josh took that opportunity to get off the bonnet. Video shows the moment the driver sped off. Josh said it was "disgusting" that the driver was urinating in the block of flats' shared bin area, adding: "It's more the shock. Why wouldn't you ask to go? You're a human being, I'm not going to say no. "I started walking back to where the van was. That's when he started coming back. "I stood in front of his drivers door. He started getting aggressive, trying to throw punches, slamming me up against the van." He continued: "he's walked around to the passenger side of the van and got in, and then he's proceeded to climb to the driver's side. While the police are on the phone, he's decided to drive. I'm in front of the van stopping him from leaving. "He's proceeded to drive into me. I got onto the bonnet. He's driving up the road, swerving. "He stopped because he nearly crashed." Iceland declined to comment. 4
