Cargo Thieves * USA - Go Online
Internet enables creative ways to pull off thefts
Long Beach,CAL,USA -The Journal of Commerce Online, by Bill Mongelluzzo -Mar 29, 2010: -- Criminal elements are becoming increasingly creative in using the internet to pull off cargo thefts throughout the supply chain, law enforcement detectives told a meeting of Harbor Truckers for a Sustainable Future in Long Beach... Cargo thieves are using the internet to track shipments, book transportation with legitimate motor carriers, or, conversely, to set up bogus trucking operations that arrange cargo pick-ups for legitimate shippers and forwarders... They get the shipping documentation they require, sometimes from inside sources, in order to secure release of the cargo... These thieves may call a legitimate harbor trucking company whose drivers have Transportation Worker Identification Credentials to pick up the container at the marine terminal and deliver it to a non-descript warehouse location... Trucking companies should do a thorough background check on drivers who apply for employment, including verifying all references. Drivers involved in cargo theft often move from state to state... Victims of cargo theft should report all incidents to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. The agencies need all the information they can get to build a data base...Labels: cargo theft
