Three people who are allegedly part of what authorities described Wednesday as a "massive theft ring" were accused of stealing thousands of Amazon packages and dumping hundreds of them outside Oklahoma City.

They face 15 counts of felony possession of stolen property and embezzlement, the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office said in a press release. More charges will likely be filed, authorities said.

Nearly 600 packages that the group is accused of stealing were supposed to have been delivered by Christmas, but were discovered on New Year's Eve roughly 30 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

Two of the accused were described as contract drivers for Amazon. The truck used by one of them belonged to the third person, who also faces charges of possession of methamphetamines, the sheriff's office said.

Investigators traced the stolen packages to the group after finding a garbage bag at the site with an address and a receipt from a local store, authorities said.

Inside a home a few miles from the site, authorities found thousands of undelivered packages, some of which were still wrapped on pallets. "Packages were stored throughout the home in almost every room and filled the storm shelter," the release said.

The packages have been returned to Amazon and will be re-delivered, the sheriff's office said.

I've seen more than one robbery attempt involving truck drivers. Alot of them carry firearms with them just in case.
