UK Freight Association Calls for Unified Action Against Surging Vehicle Crime
The British International Freight Association (BIFA) is raising alarms over a significant increase in vehicle crime targeting the freight industry. This issue impacts the entire supply chain, including the crucial first and last miles for air cargo shipments. BIFA's director general, Steve Parker, is urging for a stronger, coordinated response from government, law enforcement, and private sector stakeholders. The association emphasizes that a national, multi-departmental approach is necessary to combat the rising threat. This crime wave disrupts logistics, adds costs, and poses serious risks to freight forwarders and their clients.
