CBP drives down theft
Stolen cars intercepted
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) plays a major role in the
battle against Transnational Criminal
Organizations (TCOs) and
other innovative and constantly
evolving transnational criminal
networks whose collaborative efforts
seek nothing but illicit financial
gain and fortune. One threat
of particular concern comes from
the sophisticated organizations responsible
for the theft and export
of stolen vehicles. Thousands of vehicles
have been stolen or carjacked
throughout the tristate area in order
to be illegally exported from the
United States through various marine
terminals located in/around
the Port of New York/Newark (NY/
NWK) with final destinations to African
nations such as Benin, Gambia,
Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria,
Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.
At the Port of NY/NWK alone,
66 stolen vehicles worth approximately
$3.6M have been intercepted
and seized in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020,
a 36.4% increase over prior year-todate
numbers. 236 stolen vehicles
worth approximately $9M were intercepted
and seized in NY/NWK
during FY2019. Stolen vehicles
from FY2019 ranged in production
years 2007-2019 with forty-two (42)
of the stolen vehicles being highvalue
(over $70,000) Sport Utility
Vehicles (SUVs). The most expensive
vehicle seized in FY2019 was
a Rolls Royce Wraith, valued at
$367,000. This statistical data truly
highlights the size and scope of this
epidemic as well as CBP’s success in
intercepting these vehicles at their
respective last points of departure.
On the epidemic of stolen vehicles,
Marty C. Raybon, CBP Port Director,
stated, “Our success at identifying,
degrading and disrupting
transnational networks depends
on many things, but analytics and
partnerships are right at the top of
the list. CBP will always be able to
leverage our unique authorities,
data holdings, and analytical abilities,
but without close collaboration
with our federal, state and local
partners, we cannot dismantle
these networks. What’s required
is a whole of government approach
and that’s what we have with our
partners in Homeland Security Investigations
(HSI) Philadelphia,
HSI Newark Border Enforcement
Security Task Force (BEST), HSI
New York BEST, New Jersey State
Police, New York City Police Department
and Hudson County Sheriff’s
Department.”
CBP’s mission is to safeguard
America’s borders thereby protecting
the public from dangerous people
and materials while enhancing
the Nation’s global economic
competitiveness by enabling legitimate
trade and travel. The men and
women of CBP who are assigned to
the Port of NY/NWK take this mission
and commitment to the public
very seriously and will continue to
work with our partners and stakeholders
to ensure our continued
success.
The FBI, DHS, and TSA—in coordination
with the Truck Renting
and Leasing Association and
the American Car Rental Association—
have released a short training
video to help vehicle rental
employees identify suspicious activities
and behavior by customers
who may wish to use a rented vehicle
for nefarious purposes. Between
2015 and 2017, there were 19 vehicleramming
attacks around the world
that killed 127 people and injured
more than 650. In nearly 40 percent
of those attacks, the vehicle used
was from a rental facility.
