A group of thieves in Los Angeles blitzed a local storage facility, making off with a pair of trailers holding $3 million worth of computers. Local authorities in Miami busted a thief who created a fraudulent driver profile – including fake driver’s license, fake company ID card and facility exit pass – to haul off cargo from a Miami International Airport warehouse.
Both incidents occurred in just the past month.
As cargo thieves become more organized (and audacious), it’s crucial that shippers, carriers and logistics providers layer technology and safety protocols across the shipping process – from load planning through pick-up and delivery – to safeguard against theft.
