ONE YEAR ON: A Fuel Thief Identified And Revisited.

ONE YEAR ON: A Fuel Thief Identified And Revisited.

We’re coming up to the one year anniversary of our big ‘first case’ that put us on the map as investigators of note within the North East. So we thought we’d share the case study, revised and updated, for celebration’s sake:

Late February last year, we were engaged by a client to investigate one of their members of staff who they believed was stealing fuel from the company’s industrial pumps at the rear of their site. Read more about ONE YEAR ON: A Fuel Thief Identified And Revisited.

We were minutes away from shutting up our doors last thing on a Friday night after 9 straight days of sixteen hour shifts across the whole of Newcastle, Northumberland, down as far as Middlesborough, up as far as Berwick and pretty much very where else in between. We were broken and, in the case of this particular investigator, looking forward to the five consecutive days off that were planned and minutes away from kicking in.
