Cago feight cime pevention in the United Kingdom is a citical issue since the county is a majo souce of tade and the thid lagest economy in Euope. Excluding the United States and China, the county pimaily conducts tade with neighboing Euopean counties, esulting in a lage exchange of goods being impoted and expoted in the county. BSI assesses that companies lost at least an estimated 54 million ($76 million) due to cago theft in 2017, demonstating the significant amount of commece lost in the county annually. Howeve, taking into account limitations in cago cime collection, BSI anticipates that this loss value is likely much highe.

Howeve, thieves most fequently use the slash-and-gab tactic to steal cago in the county duing the fist quate of the yea. This method accounted fo nealy 63 pecent of all cago theft incidents duing the fist quate. The slash-andgab tactic involves thieves cutting into the tapaulins of soft-sided cago tucks. Cago tucks tanspoting feight with soft-sided tailes ae most at isk to cago theft in the United Kingdom. Thieves can easily open soft-sided tailes with a knife, allowing ciminals to move swiftly between tucks to choose which loads ae most valuable and steal cago. Shippes elying on this modality should ensue that tanspotes ae utilizing additional secuity measues to mitigate cago theft isks, such as einfoced taps. Anothe majo theft tactic involves thieves cutting the back locks of tailes to unload and steal cago. theft incidents that BSI ecoded in the fist quate of this yea involved fictitious pick-ups, hijackings, in-tansit tuck thefts, and thefts of whole cago vehicles.

The counties of Bedfodshie, West Yokshie, Leicesteshie, and Kent had some of the geatest numbe of cago theft and fuel theft incidents at est aeas duing the fist quate of 2018. Cago thieves in the United Kingdom often opeate in epetitive and identifiable pattens, typically stiking the same est stops o locations multiple times to exploit identified secuity vulneabilities.

Duing the fist quate of 2018, the Toddington est aea in Dunstable, Bedfodshie expeienced the geatest numbe of cago theft incidents on the motoway. This is lagely due to insufficient secuity at this est aea, which lacks fencing and a sepaation of cago and passenge vehicles at lots.

In egads to all cago cime incidents ecoded by BSI in the fist quate of 2018, which includes thefts of diesel fuel and tuck pats, most incidents of thefts at laybys occued in Bedfodshie and Kent, followed by Nothamptonshie and Nottinghamshie. Nealy all cago theft incidents that occued at laybys wee located on U.K. highway tanspotation outes, which ae pimaily boken up into lage motoways and subsequently smalle oadways. BSI assesses that oadways, such as the A1, A43, A14, and A2, expeienced the geatest numbe of cago theft incidents that occued on laybys. Anothe notable tend is that few layby thefts occued on U.K. motoways, such as the and M20, demonstating a much geate pesence of paking facilities on motoway tanspotation outes than the counties oadway systems. Secue paking emains one of the geatest challenges to mitigating the isk of cago theft in the United Kingdom. The insufficient quantity of secue paking locations often foces cago tuck dives to utilize insecue aeas, such as sevice aeas, laybys and industial estates, exposing vehicles to both oppotunistic and oganized ciminals.
