New Castle County residents warned of fake Amazon delivery driver stealing packages
MIDDLETOWN, Delaware (WPVI) — Police in New Castle County are alerting residents of a suspect impersonating an Amazon delivery driver and stealing packages.
It’s a trend that authorities both locally and nationwide say they are tracking.
“I felt violated, you know, flabbergasted. How do you just come up to someone’s porch and take away their belongings?” questioned Florence Kamau of Middletown, Delaware.
Kamau says her package containing two new iPhones was delivered by FedEx only 40 minutes before it was stolen.
She watched the thief live on her Ring doorbell security camera.
“I was actually live on the camera watching, but there’s nothing I could have done when he picked it up. Then he just walked away,” said Kamau. “To me, I feel like it was a setup. He came straight to my house, knew exactly where to go, picked it up, and walked away.”
Authorities say this is not an isolated case.
Police in New Castle County are also investigating a case of a phony Amazon worker.
Just three weeks ago,Action News showed you a thief dressed as an Amazon driver stealing packages in Haverford Township.
Another similar case is currently under investigation in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
Porch pirates posing as Amazon drivers wanted for thefts in Bucks, Delaware counties
In each case, iPhones were stolen.
Right now, police do not believe these cases are connected, but they’re still investigating how the thieves knew phones were being delivered.
“I’d heard of incidents like this in the area, I didn’t know there was one necessarily in Mill Branch. I’m scared now,” said Sophia Ogden of Middletown, Delaware.
New Castle County police say the next time you order a package, require a signature, get the package delivered to a neighbor or friend’s home if you are away, or use the “pick-up at store” option for merchandise at a local UPS or FedEx location.
The New Castle County Division of Police is encouraging residents to call and report any suspicious activity to 911 or the non-emergency number, 302-573-2800.

A favorite Delaware ice cream spot is getting a major makeover
For many people in Delaware, the UDairy Creamery is a favorite spot for a scoop of ice cream.
Whether customers are ordering guava sherbet, butter pecan or one of the creamery’s many other flavors, the University of Delaware shop has built a loyal following over the past 15 years.
But almost as soon as the creamery opened on the university’s South Campus, it outgrew its space.
“It was always a little too small and a little too tough to come in and leave at the same time,” said Jen Rodammer of the UDairy Creamery.
Connected to the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture, the creamery offers products that go beyond ice cream. Everything starts with the university’s agricultural programs.
“We sell honey from our apiary, we sell wool blankets for our sheep, we have Angus beef cuts available too, so we are really the connector between the college and everything we do here,” Rodammer said.
For now, customers can visit a temporary pop-up version of the creamery inside the ice rink next door while construction continues on the main building.
The renovation project, which has closed the creamery’s longtime home and impacted traffic near Townsend Hall, is designed to create a larger and more accessible space. University officials say visitors can expect quicker service, additional seating and more room to enjoy their ice cream.
“So our patio is being completely redone. There’s gonna be benches, chairs, tables and just a lot more friendly and welcoming,” Rodammer said. “It’s not just gonna be the creamery. It’s botanical gardens also.”
By late August, one of the biggest changes will be a stronger connection between the creamery and the University of Delaware’s botanical garden trails, which are free and open to the public. Visitors will be able to walk the trails and see the cows that help produce the milk used in the creamery’s ice cream.
The expansion comes after years of growth for a business that Rodammer said was originally expected to be much smaller.
“I don’t think they thought it was gonna be more than a mom and pop shop. And it really changed quickly. We’ve become a community staple, which is really exciting for us,” she said.
