A Company Director called our agency to discover out if we could support 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 the stock had all gone via the goods in department. This was happening each and every two weeks or so He suspected that a few of the warehouse workers and the lorry drivers may 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 of the time. Our operatives got friendly using the other warehouse workers. In the course of 1 of the night shifts a lorry came in along with the warehouse manager and 1 of our operatives got to work unloading it. The majority of the goods for the warehouse had been unloaded then the warehouse manager got into the lorry with all 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 a couple of weeks it didn’t matter to him what was going on. The Manager offered him either some money or a number of the goods to maintain 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. Once the lorry driver had the goods he would sell them to the other warehouse men who were also stealing for him.
Our client called the police as well as the lorry driver and warehouse manager were taken to the Police station for questioning. They had been each arrested and are on bail waiting to go to court.
