Germany: Cargo theft from trucks causes EUR 1.2bn in damage a year
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 23 Jun 2017, online:-
According to the interest group Tapa, in Germany cargo theft from trucks causes damage worth EUR 1.20bn (USD 1.34bn) a year. When the entire economic damage caused by theft is considered - for example the impact on supply chains - the figure is five to eight times higher. This makes Germany one of the worst places for cargo thefts from trucks - it accounts for one in nine cases. The gangs behind these activities are usually part of organised crime circles.
