A Twin Cities delivery driver is accused of stealing thousands of dollars' worth of packages from customers, according to charges filed in Hennepin County.
The 25-year-old man from Minneapolis was charged Wednesday with one count of felony theft by swindle.
Charging documents say the man was the delivery driver for more than $16,000 in merchandise listed as delivered that was reported missing by customers.

Charges say in one incident, a Target employee purchased a vacuum cleaner that they never received, despite it being reported
