For FBI IBR reporting purposes only, cargo theft is defined as the criminal taking of any cargo including, but not limited to, goods, chattels, money, or baggage that constitutes, in whole or in part, a commercial shipment of freight moving in commerce, from any pipeline system, railroad car, motortruck, or other vehicle, or from any tank or storage facility, station house, platform, or depot, or from any vessel or wharf, or from any aircraft, air terminal, airport, aircraft terminal or air navigation facility, or from any intermodal container, intermodal chassis, trailer, container freight station, warehouse, freight distribution facility, or freight consolidation facility. For purposes of this definition, cargo shall be deemed as moving in commerce at all points between the point of origin and the final destination, regardless of any temporary stop while awaiting transshipment or otherwise.

Cargo Theft

Resident Status

The victim is what to the offender?

The category "Victim Was Offender" is to be used in cases where all of the participants in the incidents were victims and offenders of the same offense, such as domestic incidents, where both husband and wife are charged with assault; double murders (i.e., two people kill each other); or bar room brawls where many participants are arrested.

Victim / Suspect Relationship

Enter up to three codes under the categories of Arrestee Armed With. If the person is both a suspect and arrestee, complete this field.

If the arrestee was not armed with any weapons, 99 for none must be entered.

Arrestee Was Armed With

Use this field to ensure that an arrestee is counted only once when the arrestee's apprehension requires the arresting agency to submit information on the same arrestee for separate incidents. Count Arrestee should be entered for the first report and Multiple Arrestee for the others.

If it is determined that an arrestee is not associated with any other incidents that are under investigation within your jurisdiction, enter "N/A".
