NEW YORK (AP) -- Hijackers posing as police commandeered a FedEx tractor-trailer loaded with Christmas presents and kidnapped the driver, but the would-be Grinches let him go early Friday and abandoned the rig full of packages, police said.

FedEx is trying to determine whether anything is missing from the truck, a company spokeswoman says.

Six metal air freight containers stuffed with shipments were found locked in the 18-wheeler. The busy company was scrambling to determine whether anything was missing.

The heist began Thursday night on a Manhattan street as the truck headed to Newark, New Jersey.

A maroon sport utility vehicle cut off the truck and the hijackers got out and flashed two guns and a silver badge, police said.

The driver told police he thought there was a third suspect as well and the men had heavy Eastern European accents.
