Dismantling a multi-site internal theft ring

A retailer suffering persistent, unexplained inventory shrinkage across several locations engaged us to find the source. Asset-loss investigation revealed a coordinated internal operation.

The brief

Shrinkage that spanned locations.

Losses recurred across multiple sites and resisted internal audit. The pattern suggested coordination rather than isolated incidents — and required an investigation that would hold up to scrutiny.

Our approach

Map the pattern, gather the proof.

We combined asset-loss analysis, covert surveillance, and undercover purchasing to establish who was involved and how the scheme operated.

  • Asset-loss analysis

    Mapped the shrinkage pattern across sites and shifts.

  • Covert surveillance

    Documented the method of diversion in real time.

  • Undercover purchasing

    Confirmed the scheme through controlled test transactions.

The outcome

The ring identified, the losses stopped.
