26 juli 2011: Preventing lorry crime and illegal immigration
"Keep it locked!", is the message that the UK Border Agency and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) is spreading this summer with a campaign encouraging truck drivers to keep their vehicles secure.
It is estimated that criminals who steal lorry loads cost the economy about £250m per year. Coupled with the constant threat of illegal immigration whilst returning from the continent, drivers and haulage companies need to remain vigilant.
A new leaflet, titled 'Lorry Crime Prevention', aimed at drivers has been produced to remind them to get into the habit of making sure that trailers doors and panniers are locked to make their vehicle less of a target for criminals and stowaways.
An unsecured vehicle provides a tempting opportunity for would-be criminals who only need a few minutes to break in and steal high-end goods or people to hide and gain illegal entry into the UK.
The UK Border Agency actively encourages all drivers and haulage companies to make an adequate checklist of their vehicle and load before entering the UK Border.
Those who fail to provide adequate checks can face a penalty of up to £2,000 per person found.
It is important that drivers make sure their loads are locked and if possible always park in a designated lorry safe zone to prevent crime and illegal immigration.

18 augustus 2011: Frankrijk: Diefstal van brandstof in Pas de Calais
Febetra waarschuwt voor een sterke toename van brandstofdiefstallen, meer bepaald op de parkings van het secundaire wegennet van Pas de Calais. Het lijkt erop dat vooral buitenlandse voertuigen geviseerd worden.
Er worden twee werkwijzen gebruikt:
- de dieven tappen de brandstof rechtstreeks over in de brandstoftank van een bestelwagen die zij dichtbij de vrachtwagen parkeren;
- de dieven parkeren hun trekker-opleggercombinatie, waarbij in de oplegger apparatuur voor het overpompen van de brandstof zit, naast een ander voertuig en tappen de volledige inhoud van de brandstoftank van de trekker over.
De ordediensten schatten dat sinds begin juli ongeveer 16.000 liter brandstof werd ontvreemd.
