TAPA (The Transported Asset Protection Association) is warning of an expected spike in cargo thefts as coronavirus lockdowns are eased across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. They say that despite many populations being advised to stay at home to help prevent the spread of Covid-19, its Incident Information Service (IIS) was notified of more than 400 thefts of products from supply chains in 37 countries in the region. On 1st July, TAPA will launch the latest revisions of its ‘facility security and trucking security requirements industry standards’ used by multination service providers to protect goods being stored in warehouses and while in transit.
