Part 1/5:

The Growing Threat of Cargo Theft and Organized Crime

Cargo theft remains a significant concern for logistics companies, manufacturers, and retailers worldwide. The types of products targeted by criminals are primarily those that are easy to sell and have high short-term value, often feeding into informal markets or black markets.

Most-targeted Cargo Types

Organized crime groups tend to focus on items that can be quickly sold or easily moved, making certain products prime targets for theft. Among the most commonly stolen goods are:

Food and beverages, including tequila, snacks, beer, and soda, which are popular in informal street markets and among vendors.
Clothing and electronics, which have high resale value and demand.
