Upon receipt of a clients instructions, we have a good read over the claimants injuries so we have an idea of what to look out for during the surveillance operation. This helps us to get into the best positions in order for us to film specific areas of the subjects body where they claim to be injured, thus allowing medical experts to make accurate assessments on their injuries. Today’s task involved a claimant who we have in the past found to be quite elusive (we have never a

A Rural Setting

A very recent private investigation took us out to the sticks of the country because of a male who sustained injuries following a car accident a few years ago. As a result of his injuries he was claiming big bucks for reasons of no longer being able to drive or work due to the alleged constant pain he suffers with all over his body. On day 2 of a 2 day job, before lunch we could say with confidence that the claimant was a fraud. Day 1 proved difficult with this claimant as we

Other Ways of Making Money

With Covid-19 absolutely smashing the economy, jobs and people’s lives, there is no doubt the less fortunate will be turning to other means of making a few quid. When you have a family to feed with no source of income, an easy way of making money these days is through fraudulent insurance claims. Although we completely understand why people will turn to such drastic measures, it does not make it right in any way. Insurance fraud is expected to sky rocket in the coming years w

Proving Innocence

The services from a private investigator are usually called into play because someone is suspected of some sort of wrongdoing. Whether it be a form of criminality, infidelity, fraud etc etc. The client wouldn’t pay for these services unless he or she had a strong suspicion of such activities and as such, 9 times out of 10 we prove the suspicions to be correct. However, on the 1 time out of 10, we do actually prove a data subjects complete innocence, which from our point of vi

Static Camera

The newest tool added to our arsenal is the Reolink Go. We had our doubts prior to investing into this kit as we expected choppy/grainy video footage, slow notifications when reacting to the motion sensors and poor app software. Oh how we were wrong! The Reolink Go is a stand-alone or static camera system which runs off an internal rechargeable battery or removable solar power (we are yet to trial the solar power). It is a cellular device so it requires a data SIM card meanin

A Long Way From Home

A Long Way From Home A very early rise this morning indeed! A long old journey covering roughly 150 miles to ensure we got to the property before the subject (suspected of insurance fraud) gets out of bed. It appears we have achieved that, but only time will tell if our efforts are fruitful. We have an observation post (OP) set up today with the camcorder set to Pre-Record whilst mounted on a tripod to ensure we get the perfect shot of the subject departing from the the house

When Things Go Right

Since our last blog post “When Things Go Wrong”, I thought it would only be right to follow up with “When Things Go Right”. For the most part things do actually go right with a day’s surveillance usually running like clockwork from beginning to end. There will always be little issues to contend with on all operations such as sighting an OP which isn’t overlooked by neighbours, or obtaining vehicle details from a vehicle that is out of view etc. For seasoned operatives, issues

A Day in the Life...

Yesterday started like most days with the alarm going off at 0430hrs and me springing out of bed to get ready for the hour or so journey ahead. Coffee flask filled up, kit is at the bottom of the stairs from where I dropped it last night, keys (check) wallet (check), phone (check) and I’m out the door... Back in the door, face mask (check). I get to the car and position my kit inside where it serves it’s purpose best. Reset mileage on the trip meter and off we go. The journey
