Diversion Theft

Explanation:

It is a scam exercised against transport or courier companies by professional thieves which involves a diversion of the goods which the courier company has to deliver. This diversion allows for the goods to reach a location not originally intended. This creates an opportunity for the thieves to take hold of the goods with relative ease which completes the theft.
