Through targeted surveillance of transport and delivery vehicles, our Düsseldorf commercial detectives can precisely document when which quantities of goods are transported and to which destinations. If goods are unloaded at a location where they should not be delivered, the fraud is exposed through our court-admissible documentation of the offense.
The uncovering of theft or embezzlement of goods by the detectives of the Aaden Commercial Detective Agency Düsseldorf can justify the summary dismissal of the implicated transport driver and, of course, put an end to the loss of goods.
It is not uncommon for transport drivers to head to warehouses where goods are illegally delivered and subsequently sold to fences. In some cases, these drivers act in cooperation with accomplices. In such situations, the incident may appear to be a robbery. The transport vehicle is brought to a stop—preferably on less frequented roads—the driver is attacked, the goods are removed, and later sold, with the proceeds then shared with the cooperating transporter. Alternatively, the driver may be attacked and robbed at a rest area or similar location. The perpetrators’ interest lies in inflicting a noticeable but not health-threatening injury on the driver in order to conceal their involvement in the crime. In these cases, it is challenging for our detectives from Düsseldorf, but usually not impossible, to prove the driver’s complicity.

The larger the quantities of goods transported, the more secure the thief feels when stealing amounts that appear small in proportion. Repeated smaller thefts nevertheless result in significant damage overall.
