Vandalism and Theft

Deutsch: Vandalismus und Diebstahl / Español: Vandalismo y robo / Português: Vandalismo e furto / Français: Vandalisme et vol / Italiano: Vandalismo e furto

In the transport, logistics, and mobility sectors, Vandalism and Theft represent persistent and costly challenges that disrupt operations, compromise safety, and inflate expenses. These criminal activities target infrastructure, vehicles, cargo, and digital systems, posing risks to both public and private stakeholders. While vandalism involves deliberate destruction or defacement of property, theft encompasses the unauthorized removal of assets, often with financial or operational motives. Both phenomena are exacerbated by the high value of transported goods, the accessibility of transport networks, and the increasing reliance on technology.
