Spotters, jammers, and hijackers are increasingly targeting cargo in Costa Rica, according to Insight Crime. The country's theft system involves coordinated operations that exploit gaps in security, per the report.
The report highlights how these criminal networks use advanced technology to track shipments and communicate during heists, creating a complex web of theft across the region.
Costa Rica’s government is working with international partners to strengthen border controls and improve tracking systems for high-value goods, as the issue affects both local and regional supply chains.
