Law enforcement agencies, insurers, manufacturers and logistics service providers are being asked to share cargo crime intelligence with the Transported Asset Protection Association’s Incident Information Service (IIS) to address the issue of under-reporting of thefts in countries across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. TAPA’s call for action comes as its latest data for thefts from supply chains in the region in Q3 2016 shows a total of 489 newly-recorded losses, more than five a day and up 105.4% year-on-year.
