A Business Director known as our agency to find out if we could assist him. He told us that goods had gone missing from his warehouse however it had not been broken into. The Lorries had not been tampered with and also the stock had all gone through the goods in department. This was happening every two weeks or so He suspected that a number of the warehouse workers and the lorry drivers might 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 in the warehouse and they wore body cams all of the time. Our operatives got friendly with all the other warehouse workers. For the duration of one of the night shifts a lorry came in and also the warehouse manager and one of our operatives got to function unloading it. The majority 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 any person what had happened. The operative said that as he was only there for some weeks it didn’t matter to him what was going on. The Manager provided him either some cash or many 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 several warehouses on his route with warehouse men that would support him steal from their warehouses. When the lorry driver had the goods he would sell them to the other warehouse men who had been also stealing for him.
Our client called the police and also the lorry driver and warehouse manager were taken to the Police station for questioning. They had been both arrested and are on bail waiting to go to court.
