Mexico is experiencing a surge in cargo theft on its highways, with robbery attempts occurring approximately every 50 minutes. This increase in violent incidents, often involving firearms and hijackings, has heightened concerns among companies and truck drivers operating in the country. The rise in cargo theft is adding to the security challenges faced by President Claudia Sheinbaum's administration. Unlike trends in the United States, where cargo theft is more frequently linked to fraud, Mexico's situation is marked by more aggressive criminal tactics, exacerbating the difficulties for businesses and transporters in maintaining safe operations.
