How We Caught The Fraudulent Restauranter In The Act

The employee, based in Birmingham, stated he could not come to work. His was a critical role within the business, fulfilling all of the government criteria for being a key worker. The employer had put all measures in place for a safe working environment. He stated he and his wife were shielding as his wife was vulnerable. His wife owned and managed a restaurant.

There was a suspicion that he was involved in running the restaurant business with his wife.

A short surveillance operation was undertaken on the employee. We found out that he was working with his wife at the restaurant. As the restaurant was open for deliveries and collections.

The surveillance showed him going to suppliers, collecting products and provisions for the restaurant during the day. It showed him on an evening doing deliveries for orders from the restaurant. The surveillance also showed his wife at the restaurant managing a team of staff.
