In 2021, there were 6,080 incidents of cargo theft reported in Georgia, the most out of any state. Alabama, North Carolina, Ohio, and Nevada rounded out the top five states for cargo theft incidents reported to the FBI. However, several states did not report all of their crime data to the FBI in that year.
Number of cargo theft incidents in the United States in 2021, by state
Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system in 2021, only 11,794 of 18,806 law enforcement agencies in the U.S. reported crime data to the FBI. As a result, figures may not accurately reflect the total number of cargo theft incidents in each state. States where no data is shown does not suggest no cargo theft occurred as some states did not report data.
Cargo theft offenses include robbery, extortion/blackmail, burglary/breaking and entering, theft from building, theft from motor vehicle, motor vehicle theft, false pretenses/swindle/confidence game, credit card/automated teller machine fraud, impersonation, wire fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and all other larceny.
