A Fitchburg woman was arrested Wednesday for allegedly picking up a load of packages from an Amazon distribution facility in Nashua, New Hampshire, in August and failing to deliver them to various addresses in Massachusetts.

The 23-year-old Amazon Flex driver was charged with theft by unauthorized taking, a Class B felony that is punishable by up to seven years in prison, exclusive of fines, Nashua police noted in a release.

Police responded to a theft call from the Amazon facility on Sept. 30. Authorities were told that the woman had picked up the packages on Aug. 29, but they were never delivered.
