Case history 1 - Theft by employees
A company was suspicious that a fraud was being committed by an unknown employee in relation to the claiming of expenses. The expense claims were backed up by the production of receipts using a loyalty card with the identifying details removed. Detailed examination of a mass of documentation by Farleigh investigators was undertaken who discovered the owner of the loyalty card was a family member of an employee in the accounts department. The suspect was interviewed by Farleigh investigators and admitted fraud over a two year period in excess of £10,000 which he agreed to repay. The employee was dismissed and a security self inspection process devised for the company.

Case history 2 - Illegal sub-letting
Information was received from a Local Authority that they believed a tenant was sub-letting their council property and was attempting to exercise their right to buy under the Housing Act. In depth investigations by Farleigh investigators revealed that the subject and her partner owned two other houses. Surveillance was undertaken on the addresses that proved the tenant was not living at the address and was sub-letting. As a result of this evidence the subject vacated the house and abandoned the claim to buy thus saving the council over £50,000 in lost revenue on the sale of the house.

Case history 3 - Due diligence
A major multi-national pharmaceutical company was proposing a merger with an Eastern European company. Due Dilligence by Farleigh revealed that the main shareholder of the main company involved was a nominee acting on behalf of a man with substantial links to organised crime. The Due Dilligence enabled the Company to proceed with their venture not including the nominee.

Case History 4 - Professional witness scheme (ASB)
Working with a crime and disorder partnership on an Inner London estate affected by 'Crack Cocaine' drug dealing, Farleigh investigators agreed a plan with the local Housing Association to provide covert CCTV and surveillance evidence to clearly establish the existence and the usage of 9 'crack houses'. As a result of evidence obtained by the Farleigh team, a Borough based police operation involving more than 100 officers and partners led to searches and closure of the premises, restoring control and thus improving quality of life for residents.

Case history 5 - Covert security audit and surveillance
Following substantial high value stock losses by a large manufacturing company Farleigh Investigators were able to quickly monitor and identify stock loss fraud methods by a number of employees. During a short term operation using a 'covert employee' the Company were made aware of these methods. The company employees were interviewed by Farleigh and were confronted by compelling and corroborated evidence. Stolen property was recovered and a number of employees dismissed. A comprehensive review of the stock control system and first line supervision was provided to the Company.
