Here’s an Amazon return with a happy ending.
A 2-year-old child playing in an Amazon Hub Locker in Seattle was temporarily stuck in the package delivery unit on Sunday. Seattle Police and Fire Department personnel were both dispatched, but the call was cancelled before they arrived after the boy got out safely, according to SPD.
The incident occurred in an Amazon Locker in the community center at the Radford Court apartment complex at 6301 65th Ave. N.E.
An alert was posted on the Citizen public safety app, which was then shared on r/Seattle on Reddit. GeekWire also listened to the SPD and SFD call on Broadcastify.
It’s unclear how the child, who was reportedly playing with another boy, got into the locker. The units, which are usually placed near grocery stores or apartment buildings, are intended for self-service retrieval of Amazon packages and require a customer’s package confirmation information to open.
The Hub at this location features lockers of varying sizes, some clearly big enough for a child to get into.
At one point during the dispatch call posted on Broadcastify, Seattle Fire said it was “requesting SPD in case they have to break the locker to get the child out.”
We reached out to Amazon for comment on the incident and we’ll update this story when we hear back.
SPD said the child was safe with his parents and in good health on Sunday evening.
