A FedEx employee thwarted an attempted robbery while making a delivery at the door of a home in Hialeah, Miami-Dade, an incident that was captured by the security camera at the location and has gone viral in recent hours.
During the delivery, the driver confronted a man who tried to impersonate the owner of the house and the packages.
"If you truly live here, open the door," the worker said to the suspect, who, when confronted, turned around and left the place.
According to what can be heard in the video, the worker confronted the suspect in Spanish: "I don't know you, I'm going to call the police," he warned the alleged thief as he walked away.
Then, in an attempt to gather more evidence, the delivery person took out his phone to try to photograph or record the alleged thief.
The true owner of the house, Anthony Peña, watched the situation through the camera and asked what was happening.
The FedEx driver then explained that the suspect - who was driving a red Honda - had parked and asked for the packages he was delivering, which turned out to be three iPhone 16 phones, the model recently released by Apple.
The video was shared on the social media account Only in Dade, where the FedEx employee has received numerous accolades for his timely and brave intervention.
In a telephone interview with Telemundo 51, Peña expressed his gratitude towards the FedEx worker.
"I thanked him for the camera, but the next time I see him, I will thank him personally," he said, adding that the delivery person knew the family well, which led him to suspect the individual and make the right decision to protect his property.
