Photos shared by the CHP Oakland show the truck was still filled with several packages scheduled for delivery. <\/p>\n<p>Through the truck&#8217;s tracking system, authorities were able to see that the vehicle was crossing the Bay Bridge toward Oakland. Shortly after, they located the Amazon truck at a McDonald&#8217;s in Albany, CHP said. <\/p>\n<p>There, the suspect tried convincing officers he was an Amazon employee. But Amazon confirmed the suspect, who didn&#8217;t have a uniform or shoes on, was not an employee, authorities said. <\/p>\n<p>The suspect was taken into custody on suspicion of motor vehicle theft, grand theft of packages and possession of stolen property, authorities said.
