vigilantTHE MONTHLY CARGO CRIME UPDATE FOR MEMBERS OF TAPA EMEA

welcome2 CHAIRMAN’S VIEW

Thorsten Neumann Chairman

‘The outstanding support our Association is now receiving from the National Transport Security Group of the Swedish Police is helping TAPA EMEA members gain a clearer understanding of the level of risk in another major country in our region and will ultimately result in fewer losses.’

We are fortunate that we have been able to attract speakers from local, national, and international policing authorities to all of our conferences, and we strongly value these relationships. I truly believe our LEA partners do too.

The fact remains that we still have a big job to do to convince the wider law enforcement community to work with us, particularly in the area of intelligence sharing. We understand that for legal reasons some police forces are simply not allowed to exchange data with organisations like TAPA. We also appreciate that very often they simply do not have the

information collated in such a way as to identify cargo crimes from other thefts involving vehicles and commercial properties.

But we cannot and will not give up. I am sure a high percentage of police professionals that get to know TAPA see the value of working more closely with us. They have increasingly limited financial and physical resources and greater security priorities so any proactive action they can take to stop major companies from becoming victims of crime has to make sense. In whatever form, less crime means less demand on the police.

We continue to engage with our friends and colleagues in law enforcement because we share a common goal. We continue to seek breakthroughs that help our members and LEAs and our resilience does pay off. In this issue, we have a perfect example of this in the outstanding support our Association is now receiving from the National Transport Security Group of the Swedish Police. Through their proactive approach to intelligence sharing, they are helping TAPA EMEA members to gain a clearer understanding of the level of risk in another major country in our region. That means that although the overall level of incidents in Sweden remains at a high level, the number of crimes in Sweden involving the supply chains of our members will start to fall because our security programmes will be based on the facts we have been given.

There is always plenty of anecdotal information available on cargo crime but, alongside the valuable data we get from our members, there is nothing better than facts from law enforcement agencies. So on behalf of all TAPA members, I wish to say a special thank you to the Swedish Police for working with us.

This is not the only good news we have to report. Our FSR and TSR certifications in Q1 2017 are up 17.2% and 27% respectively year-on-year. We are making strong progress with our partner CBRA on the new ROADSEC transport security tool-kit for the European Commission, and we have launched a pilot programme for our new Parking Security Requirements to gain feedback from an initial group of 25 Parking Place Operators in five countries in Europe. Enjoy reading all of these updates.

We also remind you that registration for our 20th Anniversary Global Conference in London is now open. It will be a special event that you won’t want to miss so, if you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to register.

EVERY BREAKTHROUGH WITH A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY PARTNER HELPS US TO REDUCE CARGO CRIME IN EMEA

TAPA engages with a large number of national law enforcement agencies (LEAs) across the EMEA region and we are only too aware of the pressures and restrictions they face.

PARKING PROGRESSWith over 40% of all cargo thefts in the EMEA region in 2016 occurring in unsecured parking places, the launch of TAPA EMEA’s new Parking Security Requirements (PSR) and the subsequent creation of a network of TAPA-accredited secure parking places across Europe can’t come soon enough.

For Parking Place Operators (PPOs) which join the programme, it’s an opportunity to gain significant new levels of business. For Manufacturers and their Logistics Service Providers, it’s another crucial step in trying to protect their high value, theft targeted products from attack.

Vigilant spoke to Tony Kavanagh, Secure Parking Working Group Lead, for the latest update…

TAPA has talked about its new Parking Security Requirements taking effect in the first half of 2017. How is this progressing and what is the ‘go live’ date?

We are still on track time-wise. At the start of April all TAPA EMEA members were sent a link to the working draft of our PSR Security Standard and asked to provide their feedback

to help us shape the final version. They were able to do this using an online feedback form and now the deadline for responses has passed, we will be looking closely at the comments we have received. Our members’ feedback is essential in ensuring the robustness of the new Standard, just as it was with the 2017 revisions of FSR and TSR.

You asked for members to volunteer as Secure Parking ‘Ambassadors’ – how successful has this been and can members still offer their support?

We have a growing group of ‘Ambassadors’ but we would still welcome more volunteers. Our first five Ambassadors are leading a pilot programme in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy. They each have five parking sites they are going to contact and this will provide valuable feedback on the level of interest we can expect from Parking

Place Operators. It will also help us to identify whether we need to refine our approach to get the attention and support of PPOs across Europe when we roll-out the full communications programme.

‘We have already identified 520 sites in 35 countries with the potential to join the PSR programme. And, we will want many more.’

PARKING PROGRESS: Continued from page 3

At the Q4 2016 conference in Noordwijk you asked delegates to help identify existing parking places they would like to see join TAPA’s secure parking programme. How may sites have so far been identified?

The response in Noordwijk and following our breakout session at the Milan conference in March has been extremely encouraging. I think our members really appreciate how important this initiative is in terms of making a significant step forward in supply chain security in Europe. Thanks to the information provided by our members so far, we have already identified 520 sites in 35 countries with the potential to join the PSR programme. And, we will want many more.

What is the status of the online secure parking tool?

We have completed the scope of SPOT (Secure Parking Online Tool) and signed a contract with the technology provider to build it. Programming is under way and will be followed by a pilot.

Separately, we are developing our Certification On-line Tool that was created for TAPA by BSi to support the PSR

self-certification process. We expect this to be ready by the end of May.

So, what’s the next step?

The next step for the Working Group is to hear feedback from the initial group of 25 sites we are approaching because this will give us a lot of tangible information and, we hope, our first commitments from PPOs wanting to participate in the PSR programme.

For our members, the next step is to think about how they can support us. They may want to offer to help out as a Secure Parking ‘Ambassador’ or simply want to share information on parking sites they would like to see adopt our PSR Security Standards.

UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT TO DEBATE SPATE OF TRUCK HIJACKINGSThe Ukrainian parliament is to discuss the issue of cargo crime after some 18 trucks carrying products of Azerbaijani companies were reportedly hijacked in Kiev and the provinces of Poltava, Khmelnytskyi and Vinnytsia.

According to one media article, cargoes with a value of between US$200,000 (€183,000) and $300,000 (€275,000) have been stolen in some cases, including shipments of butter and raw materials used for canning.

A news report states that the Head of the Ukrainian-Azerbaijani inter-parliamentary working group, Maxim Kuryachiy, has asked the country’s law enforcement agencies to provide further insight into the issue. He is quoted as saying: “Such actions against businessmen and companies belonging to a country that has been our friend for many years seriously concern us. I believe that the Verkhovna Rada will take this issue under serious consideration and take the necessary measures.”

DO YOU HAVE INTELLIGENCE TO SHARE?

Little is currently known about the scale of cargo crime in Ukraine due to a lack of incident reporting. If you are able to provide any information relating to truck hijackings or any other types of freight thefts, please contact iis@tapaemea.org

Recorded cargo crime statistics in Sweden rose 493.3% in 2016 – so what’s going on? Vigilant discovers it’s not only cargo criminals that are becoming more active, the country’s National Transport Security Group are taking their response to the next level too.

Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States summed it up perfectly: ‘An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.’

In other words, the more you know, the better the results, and this is most certainly true in the world of supply chain security. It also explains why TAPA EMEA members place so much value on the Association’s Incident Information Service (IIS). They use its incident alerts and online cargo crime database to help protect their goods in transit, to avoid or to take preventive action in known theft ‘hotspots’, and to counter the types of criminal M.O. identified in a specific geographic area. They are only able to do this because they have access to a bank of knowledge.

Clearly, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are one of the best sources of freight theft intelligence. TAPA has long-standing incident

information sharing agreements with police authorities in the Netherlands and United Kingdom and continues to nurture relationships with LEAs across the rest of EMEA to promote the value of such partnerships. The Association’s message is clear; help major

Manufacturers and Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) to gain a better understanding of the risk and the ‘interest’ – as Benjamin Franklin would say – will be fewer incidents and less demands for police intervention.

The latest LEA to recognise this opportunity is the National Transport Security Group of the Swedish Police. Their proactive approach to working with TAPA has helped to reveal a much clearer and bigger picture of transport thefts in Sweden, and provides valuable intelligence to those responsible for supply chain security in major corporations.

The figures speak for themselves. In 2012, TAPA EMEA’s IIS recorded only three cargo crimes in Sweden. The average number for 2013, 2014 and 2015 was 30. Last year, thanks to the growing support of Swedish Police, TAPA’s IIS Annual Report contained intelligence on 196 freight thefts over the entire year.

The crimes reported to IIS by Swedish Police are those involving a cargo value in excess of 50,000 SEK (€5,200). Of the total of 100-180 cargo related crimes recorded by the agency every month, 10-20 usually fall within this value range.

Don’t be misled by the €5,200 figure, however. For criminals operating in Sweden, the supply chain offers rich pickings. TAPA IIS data for 2016 shows a total value of €2,708,540 for the 31.6% of incidents that provided a loss figure. This produced an average loss for cargo thefts with a value of €43,686.

CRIME FOCUS: Continued from page 6

There were also nine major cargo crimes recorded last year. TAPA was asked not to share data on two of these thefts but the remaining seven were:

• €363,995 – Theft of Clothing & Footwear in Halland County on 9 September

• €173,348 – Theft of Vehicle and unspecified cargo in Västra Götaland on 23 May

• €157,996 – Truck Theft in Skåne County on 20 July

• €129,890 – Theft of a truck and trailer in Västra Götaland on 29 February

• €106,060 – Theft of Vehicle and miscellaneous cargo in Skåne County on 5 June

• €105,608 – Theft of shoes from a facility in Halland County on 11 July

• €103,998 – Over five pallets of Computers/Laptops stolen from a locked trailer on 1 September

This issue of Vigilant reports the latest big loss in Sweden, a Theft from Trailer crime on 5 March that saw thieves escape with 14 pallets of shoes worth €105,000 after targeting a truck at an unsecured parking place in Malmo. Trucks are clearly the easiest target for thieves in Sweden as they are in the rest of EMEA. In 2016, over 90% of incidents in Sweden recorded by TAPA’s IIS involved either Theft from Vehicle, Theft from Trailer, Theft of Vehicle, Truck Theft or Theft of Trailer.

One theory used to explain the rise in recorded cargo crimes is that it is a consequence of the country’s much publicised migrant problem but Swedish Police say there is ‘no evidence’ to support this. According to police sources, it is mainly Swedish nationals who are involved in transport thefts, although they also acknowledge that when a new truck or trailer is stolen, it is often criminal gangs from Eastern Europe which are behind the theft. Police state the gangs have

‘anchorages and a well-developed network to steal trucks and/or trailers and then send them to their home countries’.

Whether criminal attacks are also focused on logistics facilities is more difficult to say. Transport theft in Sweden measured by the police is only linked to truck-related crimes. There is no special group to follow up thefts of cargo from warehouse facilities. In 2016, TAPA recorded only three Theft from Facility crimes.

Overall, police data for all transport thefts in 2016 – including crimes below the 50,000 SEK threshold reported to TAPA EMEA – fell by 20% year-on-year to around 1,400.

According to Swedish Police, the ‘hotspot’ regions for these crimes are:

• Southern Skåne region, especially Malmö and Helsingborg

• Kronoberg, Jönköping region

• Industrial areas around Stockholm

• The E6 motorway connecting Malmö-Helsingborg-Gothenburg-Svinesund (Norway border)

• The E4 motorway linking Helsingborg-Jönköping-Stockholm, given the high number of logistics centres located in Jönköping.

Products targeted by cargo thieves are as diverse in Sweden as they are in its neighbouring countries. Police, however, have seen some shift towards an increase in thefts targeting clothing, shoes and cosmetics. Food & Drink is another product category with a high loss rate, alongside electronic products. The National Transport Security Group also highlights more Last Mile thefts of parcels from locked and unlocked vehicles as drivers make local deliveries.

TAPA’s IIS data for 2016 provides little insight into the location of most crimes as 159 or 81.2% of cases recorded the location as unknown, well ahead of Unsecured Parking, which accounted for just 8.7% of incidents. Speaking to Vigilant, however, Swedish Police indicate a similar pattern to the rest of EMEA, stating: ‘Theft from trailer at unsecured motorway rest areas and theft of/from trailer left unattended in the vicinity of industrial estates are the most popular types of cargo crime in Sweden’.

One theory used to explain the rise in recorded cargo crimes is that it is a consequence of the country’s much publicised migrant problem but Swedish Police say there is ‘no evidence’ to support this.

CRIME FOCUS: Continued from page 7

This isn’t the only thing Sweden has in common with other countries in EMEA; for the police specialists focusing on transport security, the big challenge is to get greater recognition of the problem and, most significantly, the connection between cargo theft and organised crime. Until that time, even the National Transport Security Group admit transport-related crimes will remain ‘a low priority’ within law enforcement.

Indicators suggest the level of cargo crime in 2017 will continue at a similar level to 2016. Theft of trailers and containers are

expected to remain a major problem, as are thefts from delivery trucks in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö, in particular. On a positive note, this is prompting growing cooperation between the police, trade associations and companies to find a collaborative approach to tackling crime.

Meetings about trends, modus operandi and crime prevention are taking place. There is also an email exchange of intelligence between the public and private sectors, although there is clearly a desire for Manufacturers to take a more active role in this process. Police describe input from ‘the good’s owners’ as rare and inadequate.

The National Transport Security Group in Sweden clearly understands the value of what it describes as ‘good cooperation

between industry and law enforcement’ and it is also clear on the importance of working with TAPA EMEA. Asked how TAPA EMEA can help to fight cargo crime in EMEA, the Group said: “Continue to send information about modus operandi, trends, and IIS messages from Europe and other countries. It is important to see the modus operandi in other countries because the criminals can move to Sweden quickly, while Swedish criminals may also carry out ‘copycat’ crimes. The meetings we have with Christer Alldén, TAPA’s representative in Sweden, are also important. We meet at least twice-yearly at the national transportation security council meeting.”

Swedish Police now join their counterparts in the Netherlands and UK as active TAPA EMEA ‘intelligence sharing’ partners. These are very much two-way relationships that benefit the law enforcement agencies just as much as the Association’s members. It is hoped they will also act as a catalyst for more police forces in EMEA to follow their example.

If you have a police contact in EMEA you wish to introduce to TAPA EMEA, please send their details to iis@tapaemea.org

Theft of trailers and containers are expected to remain a major problem, as are thefts from delivery trucks in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö, in particular. On a positive note, this is prompting growing cooperation between the police, trade associations and companies to find a collaborative approach to tackling crime.

9 EU CONTRACT

CONTINUED ON PAGE 10 >

In the February 2017 issue of Vigilant, we announced that the Cross-border Research Association (CBRA) and TAPA EMEA have been awarded a contract by the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport of the European Commission (DG MOVE) to develop a security toolkit to help fight cargo theft, irregular immigration and terrorism in the European commercial freight transport system.

This project started in January 2017 and will finish in July this year. In this issue, we outline our progress so far and ask for your further support to help us complete our task.

Before jumping into the latest details, we would like to thank all TAPA EMEA delegates who participated in our ROADSEC workshop at the Milan conference last month. This exercise contributed significantly towards the development of the latest version of the security toolkit – grazie mille!

Aligned with the terms of reference of the project contract, we have created the following – and still work-in-progress - structure for the road transport security toolkit:

Common introduction to the toolkit, including the foreword, acknowledgements, table of contents, and brief overview on relevant types of crime etc;

Section A - Truck drivers: 2-page laminated info-pictures entitled the ‘20 most important things to remember’;

Section B (max 20 pages) – The truck driver as a focal element, including links and communication with planners, managers, shippers, receivers, police, border guards, SSPs;

Section C (max 50 pages) - Transport security management for any interested party - cargo owners, shippers, forwarders, carriers etc. – using the CBRA 8-layer model. This incorporates messages to other stakeholders such as police and insurers;

Section D (max 15 pages) - Crime areas and M.O.s – cargo theft, clandestine intrusion, terrorism etc’

STATUS UPDATE ON THE EU’S NEWROADSEC SECURITY TOOLKIT

Dr. Juha Hintsa, Executive Director of the Cross-border Research Association (CBRA) provides an update on the new ROADSEC Security Toolkit being developed with TAPA EMEA on behalf of the European Commission to help prevent crimes against commercial freight operators in Europe

10 EU CONTRACT

Police in Spain believe they have uncovered a carefully-coordinated criminal operation to steal parked and loaded trucks, mostly at weekends, after recovering €250,000 of goods in a number of cities.

Officers began an investigation after four vehicles and their loads were stolen in Cuenca in east-central Spain. One media report says thieves broke into lorry parks at warehouse facilities and were able to deactivate security alarms on the vehicles in order to steal the trucks and their cargoes.

Similar thefts are also said to have taken place in Castellon, Madrid, Ciudad and Zaragoza. In each case, police said the trucks were abandoned on industrial parks and being emptied of their contents. Products targeted were listed as domestic appliances, wine, footwear, perfume, furniture and car parts.

Spanish police has so far made 22 arrests in connections with these crimes.

HAVE YOU BEEN A VICTIM?TAPA EMEA’s Incident Information Service wants to hear from any companies which have been victims of similar crimes in Spain to gather more intelligence to share with the Association’s members.

Please forward any information to iis@tapaemea.org

Cargo crimes reported to TAPA EMEA’s Incident Information Service (IIS) for March 2017 show the first fall in recorded freight thefts in over a year. IIS was notified of 158 new incidents last month, an 11.2% reduction on the 178 crimes that took place in March 2016.

The total loss for the 80 or 50.6% of reported incidents with a value was €14,876,205. Based on these figures the average loss for crimes in March was €185,952. Only three of the nine countries that recorded losses during the month suffered 10 or more incidents. The UK with 72 and Netherlands with 61 accounted for 84.3% of the total. 13 incidents were reported in Sweden.

TAPA’s IIS database captured data on 10 major incidents with a loss value of more than €100,000, which were dominated by two high value cash-in-transit thefts involving airports in the UK and South Africa. The biggest loss occurred on 14 March when an armoured vehicle that had collected a

cargo of cash from Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4 was found abandoned shortly afterwards, just half a mile away from the airport, and missing €8,108,416 in cash. Two days after the theft, two employees of the security company were arrested on charges of conspiracy to steal.

A week earlier, an even more elaborate plot saw thieves escape with €1,743,861 in cash from a flight that had recently arrived at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport. The offenders dressed as police officers and used what were reported as ‘police vehicles’ to intercept and steal the cargo.

Vigilant has been asked not to report one of the major cargo crimes reported last month. The remaining seven incidents involved losses of:

€812,420

Thieves operating in Willenhall, West Midlands in the UK, used a previously stolen tractor unit to steal a semi-trailer from a Services 3rd Party Facility loaded with a shipment of swimming goggles. They reportedly climbed over the gate to the facility before breaking the gate lock, enabling the tractor to enter the yard and attach the trailer on 13 March.

€293,986

Computers/Laptops were the target in this incident on 1 March after criminals cut a hole in the curtain side of a parked and attended vehicle in an unsecured layby on the A45 main road in Raunds, Northamptonshire, UK.

€271,028

This was the most costly of a series of tyre thefts reported to TAPA EMEA last month. The offenders cut two holes into the curtain side of a truck parked in an unsecured location at Watford Gap Services, Northamptonshire, UK. This crime took place on 22 March.

€230,781

In this incident on 13 March, thieves dressed as staff members to enter the vehicle storage yard of an Authorised

3rd Party Facility in Telford in the UK

West Midlands. They escaped with two HGVs.

€184,801

A violent Theft from Facility in Kiambu, Kenya, on 3 March which saw the attackers escape with 577 televisions after tying up security guards at a Services 3rd Party Facility.

€129,700

Another crime involving violence, this time on 6 March in Wednesbury, West Midlands, in the UK. The thieves drilled the back door lock of a trailer at an unsecured parking location before waking and threatening the driver. The incident resulted in the loss of the truck and trailer as well as its cargo of copper and brass rods.

€105,000

16 RISING STANDARDS

CERTIFICATION BULLETINHealthy year-on-year growth in FSR and TSR certifications… as launch of 2017 Security Standards promises further boost Whilst growth in the number of certifications slowed quarter-on-quarter, possibly as companies waited to see the final versions of TAPA’s 2017 Facility Security Requirements (FSR) and Trucking Security Requirements (TSR), the year-on-year statistics continue to show a positive upward trend. This will

hopefully accelerate certifications in the second half of the year now the revised Security Standards have been published and shared with TAPA members in preparation for their ‘go live’ date of 1 July.

FSR data for Q1 2017 shows a 17.2% rise in certifications over the same period of last year,

increasing from 476 to 558. Of these, 499 were achieved by TAPA EMEA members, the rest by non-members.

The number of countries with TAPA FSR certified locations also rose from 48 to 60. The new countries added to the FSR list in Q1 2017 were:

· Botswana· Gabon· Georgia· Kenya· Kuwait· Montenegro

· Mozambique· Madagascar· Senegal· Tanzania· Uganda· Zambia

TSR certifications were also higher in Q1 2017 vs. Q1 2016, up by over 27% to 92. There are now TAPA TSR-accredited operators in 22 countries in the EMEA region, thanks to new TSR certifications in Bulgaria, Greece, France, Portugal and the UAE.

In the revised 2017 TAPA Security Standards, the TAPA Air Cargo Security Standards (TACSS) are integrated into the Facility Security requirements. Data for Q1 2017 shows there are only a total of six TACSS certifications.

TAPA Manufacturer members looking for Logistics Service Providers with TAPA FSR and/or TSR certifications can access the full listings of these companies in the password-protected ‘Industry Standards’ section of the Association’s EMEA website at www.tapaemea.org

A new survey by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) shows the growing threat of cybercrime facing the country’s businesses.It found 42% of big businesses had fallen victim to cybercrime, compared with 18% of small companies. The study also reveals that only 24% of those questioned said they had security measures capable of protecting them from a cyber-attack.

The survey of more than 1,200 businesses across the UK found that 20% had been hit by a cyber-attack in the last 12 months. The BCC says the results indicate that businesses are most reliant on IT providers (63%) to resolve issues

after an attack, compared to banks and financial institutions (12%) or law enforcement (2%).

Dr Adam Marshall, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said: “Cyber-attacks risk companies’ finances, confidence and reputation, with victims reporting not only monetary losses but costs from disruption to their business and productivity. While firms of all sizes – from major corporations to one-man operations – fall prey to attacks, our evidence shows that large companies are more likely to experience them.

“Firms need to be proactive about protecting themselves from cyber-attacks. Accreditations can help businesses assess their own IT infrastructure, defend against cyber-security breaches and mitigate the damage caused by an attack. It can also increase confidence among the businesses and clients who they engage with online.

New data protection laws

“Businesses should also be mindful of the extension to data protection regulation coming into force next year, which will increase their responsibilities and requirements to protect personal data. Firms that don’t adopt the appropriate protections leave themselves open to tough penalties.

“Companies are reporting a reliance on IT support providers to resolve cyber-attacks. More guidance from government and police about where and how to report attacks would provide businesses with a clear path to follow in the event of a cyber-security breach, and increase clarity around the response options available to victims, which would help minimise the occurrence of cybercrime.”
