A Firm Director called our agency to uncover out if we could help him. He told us that goods had gone missing from his warehouse but it had not been broken into. The Lorries had not been tampered with and also the stock had all gone via the goods in department. This was happening each and every two weeks or so He suspected that many of the warehouse workers along with the lorry drivers could be stealing goods and splitting the profits.
We put undercover operatives into the warehouse who posed as warehouse workers. The operatives were employed for two weeks at the warehouse and they wore body cams all the time. Our operatives got friendly with the other warehouse workers. During 1 of the night shifts a lorry came in along with the warehouse manager and one of our operatives got to function unloading it. A lot of the goods for the warehouse had been unloaded then the warehouse manager got into the lorry with the driver and they drove off. He came back about half an hour later.
The Manager took our operative to one side and told him not to tell everyone what had happened. The operative stated that as he was only there for several weeks it didn’t matter to him what was going on. The Manager supplied him either some cash or some of the goods to keep his mouth shut. The operative had all this on film and video.
The lorry driver was the main man in this scam. He would have many warehouses on his route with warehouse men that would aid him steal from their warehouses. As soon as the lorry driver had the goods he would sell them to the other warehouse men who had been also stealing for him.
Our client known as the police as well as the lorry driver and warehouse manager had been taken to the Police station for questioning. They were each arrested and are on bail waiting to go to court.
