Boston police clarified on Thursday that what had been reported as over 100 packages being stolen from a mailroom at a Roxbury apartment complex were not in fact stolen, and were picked up by their rightful owners and accounted for.
"After further investigation and coordination with management, it was determined that all packages were accounted for or picked up by the rightful owner," a spokesperson for Boston police said in a statement. "We do not have a crime and this was more of a misunderstanding by management of where the 138 packages went."
Initially, police said 138 packages were stolen Tuesday night from that mailroom.
According to police records, on the day of the incident, residents were notified that they would not be able to access the mailroom because there was an issue with its system.

Police had said surveillance video on Wednesday showed three men apparently manipulating the control panel to access the package room before working together to steal the 138 packages.
