A FedEx tractor-trailer was blocked by several cars in a Memphis, Tennessee, intersection before dozens of people pillaged the back of the truck for packages, leaving boxes discarded all over the road during the brazen weekend theft.
Video from the scene shows multiple people running through parked cars in the road toward the FedEx truck as the driver attempts to escape the ravagers who are carrying their loot.
Multiple men allegedly used an unknown tool to open the safety latch on the truck’s sealed back doors and took numerous packages, the driver said, according to multiple local reports.
When police officers arrived, multiple vehicles were seen recklessly speeding away Saturday night, the Memphis Police Department said, according to Fox13 Memphis.
The large-scale theft happened at Mallory and Riverport in the South Memphis neighborhood of the city.
One resident says she is fed up with the crime taking place in the area of Saturday’s theft.
“My thing is somebody’s gonna end up getting killed,” Vivica Shumpert told WHBQ. “And the citizens that are paying taxes, we should have some more security, better security for the people who are paying property taxes and who want to live safely and quietly.”
Three men were detained after they were caught in an apartment complex several hours after the theft.
Memphis police received a call from a security team at the apartment complex after they found the three men sitting in a white Chevrolet that smelled like marijuana.
After checking the car, the security detail reported to the cops the men admitted to taking items from the truck.
The men told the arriving officers the stolen items were left in the street where they picked them up.
Some of the items recovered from the vehicle included four Kicker Speakers 6X9, one vehicle headlight, one 14-piece pot and pan set, and three Direct TV cable boxes, the outlet reported.
FedEx responded to the theft, saying the safety of its employees and customers’ packages are top priorities.
“The safety of our team members and the security of our customers’ shipments are top priorities, and we are grateful there were no serious injuries as a result of this incident,” the statement read. “We are cooperating fully with investigating authorities and taking appropriate steps to address this matter.”
Last week, a Maryland UPS driver had her truck stolen during a broad-daylight armed carjacking as she was delivering packages.
Police responded in Prince George County after receiving a frantic 911 call from the driver around 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9.

As usual, it’s always blacks doing what they do best, being low life thugs starting trouble.
C’mon, just part of the Democrats’ beloved junkies CRIME WAVE! The evil Democrats have never fully given up ownership of their former slaves and still warp their minds toward their evil !!!
Typical. No conscience. If lowlife thugs like these an others who mob and pillage stores got a couple of good tastes of buckshot, I bet this crap would end.
It’s a tractor trailer just push the cars out of the way
The truck driver would get into more trouble than the Democrat junkie thieves!
Typical Blacks!! Too lazy to work & terminally ignorant!
Typical blacks. Too lazy to work and the black race has not evolved as quickly as the white, brown & yellow races.
How many more businesses are going to allow this crap to keep going on? We wonder why prices we pay are going through the roof? When they steal then the rest of us pay for it. Democrats are pushing this so you have to shop online. Biden’s taking over internet so if you are a republican then you will either pay double, triple are not get it. While at the same time those in democrats back pocket will pay very little for that exact same thing. Everything they President Trump is doing in reality they are the ones doing it. On the internet right now they have fake info and no truth about anything. Everything on there I have seen is lies about President Trump. Of course they lie about themselves also but theirs is making themselves look good. I also think they are going to shut down the internet before elections so you have to watch tv news. These democrat stations will lie about the elections and who won. Not to mention you won’t be able to see their stealing the 2024 election. This is tyranny at its best. Remember look at the shiny object President Trump while we take over complete power of the American people. Mark my words with in a year of stealing another election they will be in complete power and there is not a damn thing you can do then. All you democrat lovers will not be spared like you think. Remember democrats eat their own sooner or later. Why do think they brought in criminals across the boarder and are giving them free everything including 2,200 a month, cell phones, guns and ammo not to mention get out of jail free cards.
Yes, same way Hitler became dictator of Germany, Hitlerite Jokementia Bribery is taking over the USA! And fired the 8,000 U.S. Troops who opposed his evil!
Another republican state that is out of control
