MP Posts Video of Alleged Amazon Driver Entering Home, Says Police Called It Civil Trespass

Amazon says it is investigating, with James McMurdock planning to raise the case in Parliament.

Overview

  • James McMurdock published footage showing a man ring his doorbell, try the handle and step inside before apologising and backing out.
  • The Essex MP says a 999 call resulted in police telling him trespass was a civil matter, and no charges or arrests have been announced.
  • Amazon issued a statement saying it is looking into the incident and has contacted the customer, following an earlier online apology referencing a driver.
  • The individual’s status as an Amazon delivery driver has not been formally confirmed, and media reports describe the person as alleged or supposed.
  • McMurdock says he will press for changes to trespass law and a review of policing protocols, citing risks to families from poorly vetted delivery workforces.
