How the Theft Was Carried Out
The consignment of 221 brand-new iPhones was en route to a warehouse when the truck’s driver and helper allegedly colluded to divert and unload the cargo at an undisclosed location. Their false report of a hijack delayed detection, allowing them to begin disposing of devices locally.
Lessons for Logistics & Retail Companies
This incident highlights two critical risks: internal collusion and insufficient real-time oversight. Companies transporting high-value electronics must combine personnel vetting with operational controls such as GPS tracking, tamper-evident seals, and professional escorts.
Why Professional Vehicle Escort Services Matter
Professional escorts do more than deter external attackers — they provide robust control over the movement of goods, monitor personnel conduct, and coordinate rapid responses with law enforcement. For high-value consignments, the presence of trained escort teams substantially reduces opportunity for inside jobs.
Trained & Vetted Officers
All escort officers undergo background checks, disciplined training, and logistics protection drills.
Real-time GPS Monitoring
Full route visibility with alerts for deviations, stoppages, or tampering.
Coordination with Authorities
