Transported Asset Protection Association EMEA ’s Post

TAPA EMEA is seeing consistently high levels of recorded #cargo #thefts in #Italy, including 243 new incidents in July. Monthly attacks on #supplychains across the country have been in three figures since February and last month’s incident total represented a 440% increase over the 45 cargo #crimes identified to the #tapaemea Intelligence System (TIS) in January. Italy now has a regular top 5 position in our country league table for cargo thefts in the Europe, Middle East & Africa region. A €3 million #robbery of a cash-in-transit vehicle en route in the city of Brindisi in southern Italy on 4 July was the highest recorded crime in EMEA in July 2024. However, identifying financial #losses for these crimes remains challenging. Only 18 of the 243 incidents in Italy last month shared a loss value with our TIS database, although these alone accounted for a combined loss of more than €9.3 million of goods from supply chains in 31 days. In addition to shipments of cash, other high value targets have included cosmetics, metal, jewellery/precious metals, tools/building materials, and furniture/household appliances. TAPA EMEA is keen to identify more sources of cargo crime intelligence in Italy. If you have any insights into cargo #security risks or cargo thefts, please share this information with our TIS team. We never ask for nor share the identities of companies or individuals sharing incident information with us. Italy is a major #manufacturing, #freight and #logistics market and the intelligence we share with our industry Association’s members enables them to mitigate risks and prevent losses from their supply chains. You can share crime information with TAPA EMEA at tisteam@tapaemea.org #supplychain #supplychainresilience
