More than 100 unopened packages found dumped in trash, Wayland police say

Wayland police uncovered over 100 unopened packages in a trash bin, which may indicate a larger scam targeting local residents. The packages were reported by Lori Gols, who observed them marked as delivered but not received by anyone in the area. Authorities identified that the packages came from UniUni, a delivery service that operates with personal vehicles, resulting in concerns about the reliability of their delivery process. Reports of similar incidents in Sudbury further suggest a pattern, with residents discovering discarded packages in dumpsters. Local community members have started reaching out to the intended recipients to return their packages.

Frustration over UniUni's delivery practices has grown, with residents questioning the lack of thorough background checks for their drivers. As the investigation unfolds, Wayland police are appealing to the public for information and have notified the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office. Consumer advocates urge buyers to verify the final delivery service when placing online orders.
