CHICAGO (AP) - One FedEx truck was stolen in Chicago and the driver of another truck robbed of packages in separate incidents.

The teen was arrested.

Two hours later, packages were taken at gunpoint from a 40-year-old FedEx delivery driver in the South Chicago neighborhood. No arrests have been made.

FedEx said Wednesday in a statement that the company was “grateful that no one was injured.”

The television station reports that a FedEx truck was carjacked Friday in Chicago’s Fuller Park neighborhood.

A FedEx truck and packages it carried were stolen from its driver at gunpoint earlier this month in Glendale, Arizona.
