Freight theft refers to the illegal act of stealing goods that are being transported, typically by truck or train. This crime can occur at various points in the supply chain, including during loading, unloading, or while the cargo is in transit. Thieves often target high-value items, such as electronics or pharmaceuticals, which can be easily resold. To combat freight theft, companies implement security measures like GPS tracking, surveillance cameras, and secure loading docks. Law enforcement agencies also work to recover stolen goods and apprehend criminals. The impact of freight theft can be significant, leading to financial losses for businesses and disruptions in the supply chain.
