These days, internal theft is occurring at a record rate and every business is vulnerable. Do you have an internal shrink issue that you can’t seem to get a handle on? Believe an employee is selling your assets on the side? We can help. One of our past cases involved breaking up what turned out to be an international theft ring perpetrated against a very large corporation. In this case an employee was hiding $5000 refrigeration units by the dumpster on days when a Canadian trucker was scheduled to make a pickup. The driver would back up to the dock for his manifest items to be loaded then afterwards he would backup to the dumpster and load the stolen property. We employed a team of investigators for 36 hours to surveil the property and follow anyone acting suspicious. The investigators followed an employee and the trucker to a restaurant, documented the parking lot money exchange, The employee was then followed to a shipping store where he used the company’s account to ship his personal pool parts that weighed close to 70 pounds. All of this while on an active worker’s compensation claim for a back injury where he was given light duty. This case culminated in arrests by local police of both the employee and the Canadian driver. This one employee cost the company over thirty thousand dollars as he had stolen several units before calling us in.  The client gave us permission to discuss their case without using names.
