A father recently recounted a concerning incident involving a delivery driver who seemingly entered his family residence without permission. James McMurdock, a father of four and a Member of Parliament for South Basildon and East Thurrock, shared the alarming encounter on social media. He expressed his shock and worry about the safety of his wife or teenage daughter had he not been present to confront the driver immediately.

McMurdock detailed the event, stating that the driver was captured on video approaching the door, trying the handle, and then forcefully entering the house. Uncertain of the driver’s intentions, McMurdock reported the incident to the police, only to be informed that trespassing is a civil matter with limited police intervention.

Raising concerns about the risks associated with temporary delivery drivers, McMurdock questioned the safety of families and criticized the legal loophole that allows such incidents to occur unchecked. He vowed to address the issue in Parliament, emphasizing the need for legal reforms to protect individuals in their homes.

The article did not specify if McMurdock’s family members were present during the intrusion. The Mirror reached out to James McMurdock, Essex Police, and Amazon for comments on the incident.
