We have skilled Psychologist that are Capable to interview the suspects to get the truth, we also set up surveillances such as camera, static surveillances, moving surveillances, video recording to catch the person in action. Witness Statement are collected and analysed for the truth. We can also provide Undercover Operations if it involves multiple people. We gather all evidence needed and write a well documented Report to prove the case.
The length of time for this sort of investigation varies; this depends on the type of theft and how soon the culprit is caught or when they admit. Undercover Operations are usually on a short term basis such as a week to two for this type of investigation. Surveillances can go on for as long as it is needed. We always make sure we gathered enough information in a good time without compromising anything.
In carrying out this task, the Instructing Client has to ensure that all details of Undercover operation and surveillances are discreet, only few people would know about it, also, providing names of suspects would be helpful, as we can eliminate people, other information needed would be asked for before instruction is carried out.
