Police probe mystery of 89 missing Evri parcels

Police are investigating the disappearance of 89 Evri parcels in parts of Hampshire.

The deliveries reportedly went missing between 31 August and 19 September in the north of the county, detectives said.

One customer told the BBC she and several neighbours were affected and all of them had received the same photo from Evri to show the delivery had taken place.

In a statement, the firm apologised and said it would not tolerate fraud.

Wedding celebrant Miranda Ash said two of her parcels had not arrived, despite Evri sending photographic evidence to the contrary.

One picture showed two parcels on her doorstep that were in fact not for her, while the other showed a package in the back seat of a car, she said.

Her experience was not unique in her community, she said.

"Everyone's been posting pictures saying 'Has anyone seen my package' or 'I've found it'," she said.

"It's kind of the in-joke in the village at the moment."

In a different area, Ben Hollyer said his community Facebook page had seen a "huge influx" of messages about lost packages.

"My wife and I went on a bit of a mission to find the parcels and figure out where they were," he said.

"We did eventually find one place where some photos were taken down a farm lane, but no parcels."

A third customer, Becky Sarson-Hoad, said Evri sent a photo of her package next to an unidentifiable concrete wall.

She became suspicious when the exact same photo was posted online by other customers with missing deliveries.

The BBC is unable to name the three areas involved for legal reasons.
