The Situation

A large business contacted us with concerns that an employee might be involved in the theft of company resources.While management had growing suspicions, they lacked clear evidence to confirm or disprove their concerns — and needed factual information to guide their next steps.The potential thefts were impacting profitability, damaging trust among staff, and raising questions about the company’s ability to safeguard its assets.

Our Approach

We carried out discreet, lawful surveillance of the business premises to gather information and potential evidence. The investigation was conducted confidentially, with the goal of establishing whether theft was occurring and, if so, identifying those responsible.Our methods were designed to protect the company’s reputation while delivering accurate, actionable results.

What we Found

The investigation confirmed that theft was taking place. Our team tracked stolen items to a local residence and obtained clear evidence identifying the employees involved.Once the offending was confirmed, further investigation helped define the extent of the losses and the patterns of behaviour behind them.

The Outcome

We provided the client with a detailed surveillance log, photographic evidence, and a written report that became central to their internal proceedings.Armed with this information, management was able to address the issue directly and intervene during the next attempted theft, resolving the matter swiftly and decisively.Takeaway for Other BusinessesIf you suspect internal theft, don’t ignore your instincts.
