During the first quarter of 2025, 82% of cargo theft events in Mexico took place between Monday and Friday, and Food & Drinks (34%), Building & Industrial (10%), and Auto & Parts (9%) were the most targeted products. 84% of all cargo thefts occurred in just 10 states, with the States of Mexico (19%), Puebla (19%), and Guanajuato (11%) making up over half of these events.

These are just a few of the stats and trends outlined in our Q1-2025 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 within Guanajuato and explore a successful recovery of Food & Drinks. 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.
