Most cargo crime events in São Paulo in 2019 occurred along the Anhangera and Dutra highways.


There was an equally positive decline in all but one of the regions of Rio de Janeiro. Despite the 16% increase in crimes in Sul Fluminense over the course of the year, the state’s two most critical regions, Capital and Baixada Fuminense, recorded annual reductions of cargo thefts of 22% and 8% respectively, while the biggest overall falls were reported in North & North East

Fluminense and Highland Region of 35% and 28% respectively.


A high crime rate was seen on the BR-101 in the region of São Gonaçalo, while other highways classed as hotspots were Dutra, BR-040 and other points along the BR-101.


Hijacking was the type of incident recorded for 90% of all thefts covered by the 2019 report, with most attacks taking place on Street (59%) and Roadway (20%). Crimes mostly took place in the morning (41%) and afternoon (24%). Across Brazil as a whole, goods were targeted in 11 TAPA IIS product categories, led by Food & Drinks (18% of the annual total) and Tobacco (16%).


The report concludes: “Since 2018, Brazil has shown a downward trend in cargo thefts and this continued in 2019, despite particularly high value robberies at airports, including, most notably, Galeão, Viracopos, and Guarulhos. These involved high losses of valuables such as cash, jewellery and electronics. Despite the falling numbers, there are areas where the risk of cargo thefts remains very high. Opportunity robberies are still very frequent, and highly organized and prepared gangs also continue to operate.”
