Cargo theft warning

The TT Club has created seven animations that simply and clearly illustrate a variety of cargo theft techniques, including driver attacks, personnel with false authority and theft from moving vehicles. TT Club’s MD of loss prevention Mike Yarwood said: “Cargo loss through theft or criminal damage has always been a concern but the current stresses and strains on supply chains across the world make security an even higher priority for operators and cargo owners alike. Conditions such as cargo congestion, delays, longer dwell times and shortage of secure storage facilities all mean the opportunities for criminals increase. Alterations to well-established transport procedures or ‘work arounds’ also bring heightened risk.”
