Thieves are enabled by lack of reporting cargo theft, cays CargoNet


Incomplete data and strained law enforcement can create an environment that is permissive to cargo theft, as thieves are able to exploit gaps in security, intelligence, and enforcement. Incomplete or outdated data on cargo movements and locations can make it easier for thieves to target shipments and evade law enforcement. Strained law enforcement resources can lead to weak security systems for cargo in transit, making it easier for thieves to steal shipments. Further, a lack of information sharing between different law enforcement agencies and the private sector can result in a fragmented approach to cargo theft, making it easier for thieves to operate.

Limited law enforcement and penalties for theft also continue to perpetuate the issue. Stretched law enforcement resources can result in limited enforcement against cargo theft, providing an environment that is conducive to theft. Weak penalties for cargo theft can make it less of a deterrent for thieves, as the risks and consequences of theft are reduced.
