Just over $17 million of cargo was stolen in the United States during the second quarter of 2017. This was a significant decrease( $35 million in thefts) from the same period in the previous year. The most targeted commodity was food and beverage(52%). The top 5 states that had the most pilferage are California, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, and New Jersey. Law enforcement busted a few major crime rings in California that significantly affected this decrease. Hopefully, these numbers will continue to go down.
