VIGILANCE is always vital to counter crime in road transport, Roai Haulage Association security committee chairman Jack Brown saii in London this week.
He pointed out that the security committee was formed 21 years ago, and said: "Born of necessity because of the rapidly increasing cargo -theft problem, the committee is still needed by the transport industry. Though
criminals may be forced tc change their crime pattern, they are unlikely to disappear alto. gether.
"For instance, while hijackinc and other thefts of and frorr vehicles on the roads have de. clined during the committee'! lifetime, the volumes of interne theft and pilferage of goods ir transit have both tended to in crease."
Mr Brown continued: "No netheless, anti-theft improve ments in our industry have beer real and effective. In part, thi has been due to the activities o the security committee and i must be right for it to press oi vigorously with the unrelentin! struggle against the criminE enemies of transport," He added that the success c the five Hands Off Our Freigh weeks held so far by the RH) points towards the direction i which anti-crime policies shout! be pursued by the industry.
