Nether Providence police were called to Manchester Avenue and Emerald Street around 2:15 p.m. on Christmas Eve by a delivery driver who said he had been robbed, according to a release.
The driver told officers a masked man implied he had a gun, stole the van, and drove north on Manchester toward Baltimore Pike.
Emergency dispatchers put out a county-wide description of the suspect and within 15 minutes the van was spotted near Chester High School, where two men were reportedly tossing the packages into a Chevrolet Impala, authorities said.
Chester police arrived and the Impala driver fled but was eventually caught on Fulton Street near West Third Street, according to the release.
The driver and owner of the Impala, 30-year-old Eric Rohshod Comegys, was arrested after police said they found several Amazon packages in the car, officials wrote.
He was charged with robbery and related counts and his bail was set at 10 percent of $500,000 at his arraignment on Sunday night, court records show. Comegys is slated to return to court for a preliminary hearing on Jan 12.
