DARIEN, Conn. A FedEx driver was approached twice in one week by somebody who police believe might be committing identity theft. Police said the man who approached the driver has been having computers shipped to homes in town and trying to intercept them before they are delivered.
The first incident occurred May 4, when the driver was parked in a parking lot on Parklands Drive. A man approached him and asked him for packages that were to be delivered to a home on Bayberry Lane. He showed the driver a New York license with the recipients name, but the driver did not turn over the packages because he believed the license was fake.
The packages that were to be delivered to the Bayberry Lane house contained four laptop computers. The resident had not ordered the computers, and was the victim of identity theft.
On May 8, the same man approached the same driver in the parking lot of 90 Post Road. He again asked for a package that was to be delivered, this time on Prospect Avenue. This time, the man claimed to be the resident of that house.
The driver recognized the man and refused to turn over the packages. The man then drove away. Again, the packages contained computers, which the resident had not ordered.
The driver described the man who approached him as a black man in his late 20s to early 30s. He was seen driving a silver Audi with New York registration.
