Cargo Theft Is No Longer Just a Security Issue—It’s a Supply Chain Problem

Cargo theft has changed. What was once viewed as isolated, opportunistic crime has evolved into something far more coordinated—targeting not just shipments, but the systems, processes, and handoffs that move goods through today’s supply chains.
To help logistics providers and cargo owners better understand this shift, Roanoke Insurance Group, in collaboration with BSI Consulting, has released the 2026 Cargo Theft: Tactics & Trends to Watch report. The report examines how cargo theft is evolving across global, North American, Asian, and European markets, and why theft is increasingly shaped by how supply chains are designed and operated.
Inside the report, you’ll find data and analysis highlighting:
- Why trucking remains a primary area of exposure worldwide
- How strategic theft—including fraudulent pickups and impersonation schemes—continues to expand
- Where facility‑based theft and insider involvement persist across regions
- What consistent patterns are emerging across otherwise different markets
The report also features expert perspectives from Tony Pelli of BSI Consulting and Dr. Cyndee Garbrecht of MRSGNA, offering insight into why cargo theft can no longer be viewed as an isolated or purely physical risk.
