2 BSI Supply Chain Services and Solutions SCREEN United Kingdom Cargo Theft Report Q2 2018Introduction
This report was published in coordination with BSI and the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS).
NaVCIS is a United Kingdom police unit that utilizes vehicle crime intelligence from regional U.K. police forces, as
well as European law enforcement agencies, to track freight crime incidents, report criminal trends, and produce
effective industry solutions. The U.K. cargo thefts and trends report created in partnership with BSI and NaVCIS
seeks to highlight major areas of concern, targeted modalities and commodities, and theft tactics utilized
throughout the United Kingdom. Each organization has the goal of helping companies stay informed on cargo
theft risks in the country, and ultimately providing assistance to prevent freight crimes.
Cargo freight crime prevention in the United Kingdom is a critical Theft by Month – United Kingdom
