WHO ARE THESE THIEVES?• It is hard to say for sure who

these thieves are but sometimes they are linked to organised crime groups

• who steal the entire shipment of cargo like consumer electronics or even beer

• and before the theft is reported, they quickly sell it on the black market.

HOW IT IS DONE?

• General cargo includes things of delicate nature, such as electronics, Jewelry, pharmaceuticals and wristwatches.

• Things of delicate nature, have very high value.

• The electronics industry accounts for around 40 percent of the value of the whole international air cargo industry.

HOW TO PREVENT IT?

• It is kind of impossible to prevent, so the best can be done is to minimise the numbers. Having said so, the insurance bureau has initiated a cargo theft programme

• ncouraging people to use a phone tip-line and the internet to anonymously report crimes.
