An African American owned independent delivery contractor for Amazon lost nearly $50,000 today after they shut down business due to severe vandalism of nearly their entire fleet of vans.
The owners of Amazing Deliveries, who employ nearly 70 drivers from the community, were in total shock today after observing 60 of their vans marked with ” BLM” and ”Kill Police”.

It happened at approximately 11 p.m. last night but police were called to the Frelinghuysen Avenue location just after 9 a.m.
”I lost over $60,000 today because had to send most of my drivers home,” the owners told RLS Media in an interview.
Police took a report and are now checking surveillance in the area for the suspects who damaged the vans.
”I just have to pray that God helps me continue to help many of my workers who are already strapped with cash due to COVID-19 and limited delivery schedules,” the owner said.
Officials for Amazon released the following statement: ”This is an unfortunate incident and we are supporting our partner, Amazing Deliveries, and law enforcement as they investigate.”
The incident remains under investigation.
