MILWAUKEE — A man was arrested Friday after stealing an Amazon truck and leading Milwaukee police on a chase.
According to Milwaukee police, a suspect demanded keys from a package delivery truck driver near 65th and Lancaster around 1:35 p.m.
A Milwaukee police officer saw the truck near 60th and Meinecke and attempted to make a stop.
The suspect failed to stop and a pursuit began.
The pursuit ended when the driver stopped in the parking lot of a BP gas station near 27th and St. Paul.
Surveillance video obtained by TMJ4 News shows police following the reportedly stolen Amazon truck. The truck comes to a stop in the parking lot and police swarm the vehicle.
The suspect, a 32-year-old man, was arrested. Criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office in the upcoming days.
Montana MacLachlan, a spokesperson for Amazon, said, “We’re thankful the delivery driver involved is safe, and we’re cooperating with local law enforcement as they investigate.”
Friday's incident happened just a block away from where a United States Postal Service (USPS) employee was murdered. Aundre Cross was shot and killed while delivering mail near 65th and Villard on Dec. 9 in what federal investigators describe as a targeted attack. Four people have been charged in connection to his murder.
