Amazon delivery driver speaks out after having his van tyres slashed in Milton Keynes

The man took to social media to complain his tyres had been deliberately slashed while his van was parked up in the Wolverton area.

He said: "To the lovely person that decided to slash the tyres on my Amazon van last night, I know I don’t always park in the best places but I always make sure I’m never blocking any emergency routes or anybody’s access to anywhere."

He added: "I’m currently out on the road a minimum of 10 hours a day delivering Christmas presents as well as a lot of PPE to private homes and businesses so they can continue trading (as well as lots of loo roll!)."

But today, due to the slashed tyres needing repair, he struggled to make all his deliveries and was worried he would be late for some.

"I really hope it wasn’t one of your children’s presents that wouldn’t have been delivered if that was the case," he said.

He added: "If you have that much of an issue with my van please just leave me a note and I’ll happily oblige. Let’s not resort to pettiness and in return I’ll be more considerate with my parking."

Dozens of members of the public replied with sympathetic comments, with many saying how Amazon was a "lifeline" during lockdown.

"Respect for Amazon drivers," said one.

"Sorry this happened to you. Being an Amazon driver or any other driver is not easy."

The driver himself thanked them all, saying: "Wow... I'm overwhelmed to the response to this. It's great to know we’re appreciated!"
