Transport Criminality Netherlands In an open letter to Minister Grapperhaus (Justice and Security Netherlands), transporters sound alarm about the undiminished large number of thefts from trucks and ask the minister to take action. Although the official figures show a small decrease in cargo theft, the industry is questioning these figures. "Theft is common and you cannot lose sight of your truck or you have been robbed. And when the police finally have time for you, your belongings have long since been sold and disappeared across the border ... " Business impact: cargo thefts cost the business sector about â‚Ź350 million annually in the Netherlands.

New threat : Urban Explorers What is it and what to do about it?
Recently, the City of London Police has received increased reports of urban explorers infiltrating business premises within the Square Mile. What is Urban Exploring? Urban Exploring, also referred to as Urbex, is the exploration of unseen or off-limit places or buildings. In London, individuals and groups have entered buildings as trespassers (mainly at night) to get to the roof and take photos of the London skyline. Why is it a problem? Although they may not think they are doing anything wrong, the places they are entering are 'restricted' or 'off limits' for a good reason. Not only are many of the buildings or locations private places and the owners do not want trespassers, there are also significant safety and security risks. Urban Explorers are gaining access to high locations, often without protective equipment and with a significant risk of falling. These locations also have a variety of other risks such as unstable roofs and dangerous hazards (especially on buildings still under construction). For the building owners there is always the risk that damage will be caused (whether it is intentional or not). There are also significant security concerns.
Security Concerns The main security concern regarding the activities of urban explorers is that it may encourage others to copy their behaviour. Many of the locations already have security in place to prevent criminal activity such as burglary, or in the case of more sensitive locations, terrorism. The activities of urban explorers have shown that on occasion these security measures can be breached. Furthermore, many urban explorer websites detail how they gained access, which is an unintentional benefit to others who may wish to gain access for criminal purposes. What can you do about it? Many of the buildings and locations targeted by urban explorers already have reasonable security measures in place. Urban explorers have admitted that before gaining access to a building a substantial amount of planning and research takes place. This means that they are visiting the locations and conducting reconnaissance. By making you aware of this problem and by remaining vigilant whilst challenging any suspicious behaviour, it will help to disrupt and discourage urban exploring. It is believed that there are currently only a small group of people in London taking part in these activities. Courtesy of City of London to report this new threat.
