Cargo theft refers to the illegal act of stealing goods that are being transported, typically by truck, train, or ship. This crime can occur at various points in the supply chain, including during loading and unloading, while in transit, or at storage facilities. The stolen items can range from electronics to food products, impacting businesses and consumers alike. The rise of cargo theft has led to increased security measures in the logistics industry. Companies often invest in tracking systems, secure storage facilities, and employee training to prevent theft. Law enforcement agencies also collaborate with businesses to combat this issue and recover stolen goods.
