911 tapes, police report shed light on how thieves ambushed, kidnapped UPS driver - Atlanta Journal Constitution
A gunman who stole several packages from a UPS truck in northwest Atlanta this week had help from at least two other robbers, according to a police incident report.
The alleged carjacker climbed aboard the 18-wheeler and kidnapped the driver at gunpoint moments after the tractor-trailer pulled out of a UPS hub along Fulton Industrial Boulevard early Tuesday morning.
The driver was bound for Macon and had a full load of packages that he was scheduled to deliver to a UPS facility there. But he got intercepted less than a mile into his long haul around 3 a.m.
One of the gunman’s accomplices was a man who crossed the street and stopped in front of the big rig as it approached the intersection of Fulton Industrial Boulevard and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, according to the report. The 56-year-old driver told officers that suspect, who later helped unload the stolen cargo from the UPS truck, distracted him while the armed suspect opened his door and quickly jumped into the passenger’s seat.
