Hauliers are calling for more secure parking areas across the EMEA region after a report from the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) found that 85.1% of all cargo theft reported to it in November occurred at unsecured locations.
The report coincides with claims in the UK that London’s police may not pursue “lower-level, higher-volume” crimes, including vandalism, vehicle crime and fuel theft.
Citing news reports, the Road Haulage Association (RHA) said plans from the Metropolitan Police Force not to investigate certain crimes was a “worrying development”.
Chief executive Richard Burnett said the news would only add to driver unease, noting that with fewer police resources put into these crimes hauliers may find themselves “increasingly” targeted.
