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

#CheatingPartner

We have recently got off the ground after having investigated a fairly sensitive infidelity case which brought to light some serious findings. The data subject in question decided to just up and leave our client one day, leaving her high and dry with lots of unanswered questions spinning around in her head. Although the client and the data subject were still in minimal contact, lies, deception and vagueness were a part of every conversation they had leaving the client feeling

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

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

Taking a “Sick Day”

Although absence rates across both the public and private sectors have been falling since 1995, the figures still don’t look good on paper. According to the 2018 survey published by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) on 6th November 2019, an eye watering 141.4 million working days were lost illness or injury. The key thing here is the date on which this survey was completed as it won’t be taking the Coronavirus outbreak into consideration. Numbers are expected to rise sh

Myth Busting

The private investigations industry comes packed with a whole host of myths that we are forever putting to rest for people who at no fault of their own, are none the wiser. We have put together a short list of surveillance based myths and questions we regularly come across to add some knowledge to brains... Q1 - Is surveillance like the films? A - It depends what film you are watching. If the film was based around my day today, it would be an 8 hour blockbuster of me hiding i

Face Masks

It is becoming more likely that the UK population will be required to mask up in more public places such as shops and supermarkets. It does beg the question as to why it has taken so long for the government to adopt this position considering the rest of the world is already doing so. As for investigators in the private sector, this can be a double edged sword. On one hand, it can become even tricker when trying to identify a subject, so we can only hope they remove their fac

Back to Normal?

With the shops re-opening and the government giving us back a few more freedoms, millions flocked to the shops yesterday but only to find some very long wait times just to get in the door! What does this mean for Sentry Investigations? Most importantly it means people have reason to be leaving their houses finally, so we can start catching the fraudsters, cheaters, moonlighters, crooks, etc etc etc!
