Theft from Interstate Shipment is the illegal taking of goods and products that are transported across state borders. This can include anything that is sent by truck, rail, air, or sea, and is often done without the knowledge or permission of the owner. Types of Theft from Interstate Shipment include cargo theft, freight theft, and inventory theft. Cargo theft occurs when goods are stolen from a truck, rail, or ship while in transit. Freight theft occurs when goods are taken from a warehouse or distribution center before they are shipped out-of-state. Finally, inventory theft occurs when goods are stolen while they are in storage or on the shelves of a retailer.
