An Evri delivery driver has been sacked after more than 100 parcels were allegedly falsely marked as delivered in South Devon. Residents in towns and villages including Kingsbridge, Loddiswell, and Modbury reported missing packages, prompting an investigation.
Luke Jones, a local resident, gathered evidence of over 100 cases where parcels were confirmed as delivered by Evri but never arrived. Common patterns included photos of the same door used for multiple deliveries, blank black images, and claims of packages left at non-existent porches.
Jones described the situation as 'systematic betrayal of trust' and urged victims to report incidents to police under a single crime reference number. He said the fraud has cost the community thousands of pounds and called on Evri's executive team to take responsibility.
Evri confirmed the driver involved would no longer deliver on its behalf, apologising to affected customers. The company stated that the majority of its couriers maintain a high star rating of 4.6 out of 5.
Devon and Cornwall Police are investigating and have asked anyone who has not yet reported a theft to contact them via 101 or their website.
