During Q1-2024, Mexico experienced 5,140 cargo theft events. Thefts in the state of Puebla were especially noteworthy, as 95% involved violence. Puebla also recorded the second most thefts of any state in Mexico, and if patterns persist, it could soon find itself experiencing the highest number of incidents. 

As 2024 continues, it’s important that shippers understand new and emerging theft patterns in Mexico in order to identify and prepare against risks. For this reason, we’ve put together an infographic detailing thefts in the country by product type, time of day, and more. We also explore a theft recovery case and compare current theft numbers with those of previous years.

Along with our infographic, we’ve also published a special report on crime in Puebla. Together, we hope that this report and infographic 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 cargo secure.
