NEW YORK – Never mind the porch pirates stealing your Amazon packages from your front porch, one brazen criminal stole the entire Amazon delivery truck on Monday.

The automobile theft took place Monday in the area of 1986 East 19th Street in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn.

The 23-year-old delivery driver dropped off a package at the address and left his truck running. When he got back, he was confronted by a suspect with a knife who got into the truck and fled the scene.

The truck was later located on Avenue X, a few blocks south. No arrests were made as the suspect fled the scene.

The Amazon driver was not injured.
