Truck Robbery
Truck robbery is a form of theft. The load of a truck is stolen while driving .
The perpetrators are traveling in three vehicles. A vehicle sits in front of the truck whose cargo is about to be stolen and forces it to slow down. Another drives next to it to prevent overtaking. A car drives so close behind the truck that a perpetrator who has reached the hood via the sunroof can break the lock on the rear door and steals the goods, which he passes on to a person who has his upper body out of the Sunroof protrudes. The booty is stowed in the vehicle . Crime scenes are highways, especially sections that cannot be driven quickly due to construction sites.
