During 2024, 84% of thefts from carriers in Mexico involved violence. The Central and Southeast regions experienced the highest percentage of thefts at 78%, with 87% of all thefts concentrated in just ten states. Food & Drinks were the most targeted product type, followed by Miscellaneous and Auto & Parts.

These are just a few of the stats and trends outlined in our 2024 Mexico Cargo Theft Report, which breaks down thefts in the country by product type, time of day, and more. We also dissect theft patterns taking place along the Mexico-Veracruz highway (MEX-150D) and explore a successful recovery of Clothing & Shoes. Finally, we provide suggestions for how you can keep your cargo safe during transit.

As 2025 continues, it’s important that shippers understand new and emerging MOs and targets in Mexico in order to identify and prepare against risks. We hope that our annual report help you gain a better understanding of current theft patterns in Mexico, what these patterns mean for the months ahead, and how visibility and risk monitoring solutions can keep your shipments secure.
