Mitigating the cargo theft risks in Milton Keynes, UK is not a simple task. The area is the main target for cargo theft gangs and registers among the highest cargo loss values in the country according to the British Home Office.

Risk Intelligence’s Europe and Russia Analyst, Kristian Bischoff, wrote an article for TAPA’s Vigilant Magazine on what makes Milton Keynes a prime location for cargo theft, which routs and truck parking areas are being hit and how Risk Intelligence’s land-based security risk module can help you mitigate the cargo theft risks.

Given that Milton Keynes is a logistics and business hub, with more than 14,000 offices and 40 business parks, makes it a ‘target rich environment for cargo theft criminals’. More than that, Bischoff stated that ’The major roads in these areas are, of course, public highways, and while most thefts from lorries happen at night, there are still usually plenty of normal life patterns – meaning other vehicles, traffic, etc. - that perpetrators can disappear into after the theft. ’

Kristian Bischoff also presents in his article a solution for the cargo owners and logistics companies dealing with cargo theft, Risk Intelligence’s LandRisk Logistics system. Our 360-degree logistics security solution allows you to plan and monitor multiple road freight routes and find verified secure parking spots.

At Risk Intelligence, we evaluate and analyse the potential for a cargo theft, based on three parameters: local threat, vulnerability and site attractiveness.
