MONROE (Middlesex) — A North Jersey man has been busted for what police called an “elaborate Amazon delivery scam,” in which he posed as a worker to steal $200,000 in packages.

Aneury Castillo-Blanco, of Passaic, was arrested by Monroe police on Thursday after a months-long investigation.

Investigators said the 34-year-old used fake identification and disguises, taking packages from an Amazon fulfillment center and operating several fake Amazon delivery routes.
