Packages from a stolen Amazon truck in Hartford

Someone stole an Amazon delivery van as it was making deliveries in Hartford on Friday morning and police found it after the driver crashed into a fence.

Police said the white Dodge Ram 2500 van was stolen while making deliveries on Martin Street just after 10:30 a.m. Friday. Police said the driver stepped away momentarily and left the keys in the vehicle.

Using cameras, police tracked the van to Westland Street and found two people taking packages from the vehicle, police said.

They detained one person and the other drove off, hitting a building, then crashing through an iron fence, sending packages into the road, police said, then the driver ran on Edgewood Street.

Police are searching for the person who took the truck.

Sixty-four packages that were in the truck are missing, according to police.

Police are urging people, including Amazon delivery drivers, to lock their cars and take the fobs.
