In 2023, there were 885 incidents of cargo theft reported in North Carolina, the most out of any state. Nevada, Georgia, Washington, and Texas 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, meaning figures may not accurately reflect the total number of cargo theft incidents in each state.
Number of cargo theft incidents in the United States in 2023, by state
Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system, not all 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 that no cargo theft occurred, as some states did not report data.Â
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.
