Theft by Employees

If you suspect that one of your employees is stealing from you, other staff members or possibly even customers, our qualified investigators at Kurtz Investigations Saarbrücken and Saarland are your IHK-certified contacts for surveillance and evidence preservation: +49 681 6029 0010.

Office, Sales Area, Warehouse – Fields of Activity for Thieves

The theft of so-called “minor items” such as office supplies, packaging materials or other everyday goods has become an unsightly habit that runs through all industries, corporate structures and income groups. There is often a lack of awareness of wrongdoing, as many employees are not aware that stealing items worth only a few cents still constitutes theft and therefore a criminal offence. The size of the company is completely irrelevant, as two or three dishonest employees harm a small business just as much as thirty or forty dishonest workers damage a large corporation. Experience shows that employees are repeatedly found who initially appropriate only insignificant items and, if they remain undiscovered, later steal larger articles or sums of money. Early intervention by our commercial detectives in Saarbrücken and throughout Saarland is therefore advisable for two reasons: firstly, to avert financial damage, and secondly, to send a clear signal to the remaining workforce.

At times, the acts of thieving employees are directed not only against company property, but also against the valuables of colleagues. The result is a poisoned working atmosphere.

Identifying the Perpetrator – A Specialist Field of Our Detectives

In most cases, the offending employee can be conclusively identified through surveillance (personal observation). However, a person who does not belong to the workforce would immediately stand out, and the target person would be unlikely to commit a criminal offence in the presence of an outsider. For this reason, deploying a detective with an appropriate cover story as a new employee of your company is an excellent alternative for obtaining evidence. The embedded investigator can unobtrusively observe the target person in this way and discreetly ask questions. Only very experienced detectives such as those at Kurtz Detective Agency Saarbrücken and Saarland master this “supreme discipline” of investigative work. If the suspicion is confirmed, you will receive court-admissible evidence from us.
