CARGO CRIME IN THE MEDIA LATEST IIS INCIDENT ALERTS…
TAPA EMEA’s IIS team continues to keep members up-to-date with the very latest cargo crime news. The most recent reports include:
Attempted theft in South Africa
On the morning of 21 September, just after a truck had left its depot, the company noticed that the vehicle’s tracking device was starting to scramble. Realising there was a problem, they alerted the police and tracked the vehicle to Kleinskool, where it was found abandoned. The cargo, worth €201,500, was found scattered in an open field in Soweto-on- Sea, where it was recovered in its entirety.
Cash-in-transit hold-up in Lyon
On 28 August in Lyon, France, up to five armed offenders blocked the front and back of a cash-in-transit van with heavy vehicles and threatened the security guards at gunpoint. The offenders gained access to the vehicle and robbed it of around €9 million. Before escaping the scene in two cars, the offenders set fire to the van and, sometime later, the offenders’ getaway cars were also found burnt out nearby.
662 laptops stolen in the UAE
On 9 September in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, a gang of offenders stole 662 laptops worth €555,298 from an electronics warehouse. The offenders disabled the CCTV cameras installed in the warehouse before leaving with the goods in two stolen vehicles. Investigations into this incident revealed that the gang conducted reconnaissance of the facility, monitoring it constantly before executing the theft.
Another burnt out vehicle in France
Another burnt out vehicle was found in Chateauneuf-les- Martigues, France, after it had been stolen earlier that day, 8 September. The incident occurred when four offenders forced the vehicle to stop, after it had made a delivery in Marignane. They bundled the driver and his assistant out of the cab and stole the truck containing a consignment of €1,000,000 of tobacco products.
