Vehicle theft becomes a common crime (now called a syndicate) in Malaysia. According to the Vehicle Theft Reduction Council of Malaysia Berhad (VTREC), an average of 6% of commercial vehicles are stolen in the year 2019. Although the number is reduced by 1% in 2020 last year, the ongoing crime syndicate (for commercial vehicles) is still a concern to many fleet owners.
It is important to outsmart the thieves. Fleet owners should take extra precautions to prevent vehicle theft, minimize fleet risks, and reduce replacement costs. Anti-theft devices such as GPS trackers are essential to keep those thieves at bay.
