Regional customer contacted our detective agency. There is a courier in his organization whose task was to transport documentation and money. The courier was accurate and punctual; he had a certain trust in the company.

One day he had his usual task: to transport documents and some amount of cash.

However this time the courier did not reach the destination. The customer contacted the police promptly and submitted his statement on missing employee possessing large sum of money. Police officers conducted a complex of search activities and reported that the courier got a train ticket and left to Moscow on that very day.

It is clear that looking for a person in Moscow is the same as looking for a needle in a haystack. But….

There was one clue – the courier’s social network account which he actively used. A detailed review of all the information and photos on the page allowed our detectives to discover one interesting detail - a photo taken from the hotel window. This was the key point in our investigation: we quickly established the name of the hotel and its address.

The staff of our detective agency visited this hotel and made inquiries about the courier. Hotel confirmed that he really rented a room in the hotel. Detectives were watching the entrance to the hotel for several days the. As a result the discovered that the courier did not just live there but lived very luxuriously: he was ordering expensive taxi for him to get around the city. The cost of a hotel room was 22,000 rubbles per night.

The collected information was transferred to the customer. It was important to act quickly as the courier having a large sum of money started to spend it thoroughly enjoying this process, so he might spend all the money or disappear in the unknown direction.

The customer immediately took a flight to Moscow. A very “moving” meeting of the employer and his employee took place on the same day.

As a result of all the timely taken actions the professionals of our detective agency made it possible to return money to the customer. Refund was not in full but most of it. The customer thanked the detective agency for its professionalism when performing the work.

When entrusting important documents or money to your employee, you need to control all his actions irrespective of his company work record. Otherwise, you put yourself at great risk. And not all similar situations can have such happy ending.

In the case described above, the courier was tempted by a large sum of money and easy access to it. He did not have a plan and acted spontaneously. But other scenarios are also possible.

The search process can be also complicated by the fact that some companies for some unknown reason do not have information about the courier working for them. This becomes known when the courier is missing and no one knows where to find him. Such a seemingly unnoticeable person can take advantage of his invisibility. It is important to know for sure that the employee who provided the document is indeed the same person. Information needs to be checked. Please contact our detective agency to do this.
