U$1.4m theft hits Miami Airport
February 14, 2012
Freightwatch has warned shippers to take additional security precautions at Miami International Airport after around $1.4 million in cargo was stolen on Friday.
The cargo was loaded into a tractor-trailer and left in a warehouse parking lot unattended while the driver went to complete his paperwork.
Freightwatch said this was the fourth incident at Miami International in a month, all targeting shipments of consumer electronics.
The group said: “Given the recent budgetary decision by the Miami-Dade police department to scale back on its Cargo Theft Task Force, an increase in organised cargo theft activity was highly probable.”
