cargo theft

Cargo theft refers to the criminal act of stealing goods being transported, typically from trucks, trailers, or warehouses. This crime can occur at various points in the supply chain, often targeting valuable items like electronics, pharmaceuticals, or food products. Thieves may use tactics such as hijacking vehicles, breaking into storage facilities, or tricking drivers into stopping. Cargo theft poses significant financial risks to businesses, disrupts supply chains, and can lead to higher costs for consumers. Companies often implement security measures, such as tracking systems and background checks, to combat this ongoing problem.
