• Thieves may use various methods to steal cargo, including hijacking trucks, tampering with seals, and impersonating legitimate drivers.

• Cargo theft can occur at any point in the supply chain, from warehouses to trucks to ports.

• Businesses can take measures to prevent cargo theft, such as using GPS tracking, conducting background checks on employees, and implementing strict security protocols.

• Law enforcement agencies work to combat cargo theft through task forces and partnerships with industry stakeholders.
