A local employer came to Detectives Plymouth with concerns over the misuse of several company vehicles after he noticed unexpectedly high mileage and very worn tyres. These issues coupled with the rapid deterioration of other recently serviced parts of the car led the client to suspect inappropriate usage of company property that would lead to further cost and inconvenience to him. After approaching employees personally and achieving no results the client turned to us to uncover the problem.

The investigation began with the identification of several suspected targets with the aid of the client and evidence of car mileage and condition in the form of required company paperwork. Once the targets had been identified the client asked that our car tracking service be implemented on the company cars so that their routes and locations could be evidenced at all times. After operatives placed trackers on the 3 vehicles the investigation hastened rapidly as the tracking showed all 3 employees driving recklessly and greatly beyond designated speed limits in areas far beyond the intended locations.

We presented the client with the evidence that illustrated the misdemeanours of the targets and the appropriate disciplinary action the employer had been hoping for was taken and all issues resolved.
