Employee Theft in the Transport Industry

Although the share of the manufacturing industry in Berlin is comparatively small, the overall figures remain enormous due to the city’s size and economic significance. Theft by employees in the export sector represents a problem that should not be underestimated. Goods are misappropriated during transport or stolen directly from warehouses. The discrepancies usually do not become apparent until the next inventory check – or, in cases of skilful manipulation, only when it is already far too late. Particularly unscrupulous employees disappear once they believe they have made sufficient “profit” to enjoy a comfortable life. Tracking them down afterwards can become a lengthy and costly process which, in the worst case, the affected company can no longer afford. Therefore, if there is an initial suspicion, action should be taken immediately. The corporate detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Berlin take the necessary measures at short notice.

Positive Trend in the Export Industry Leads to Rising Offence Numbers

Technology and know-how from Berlin are in demand worldwide, especially in the distant United States. In addition to pharmaceutical products, it is primarily power machines, motor vehicles, and energy generators that are exported by Berlin companies across the globe. This positive trend naturally leads to increased potential for criminal activity, which is reflected in rising losses caused by theft and misappropriation. These offences do not occur only on routes leaving Berlin but also during imports. Monitoring the responsible employees through detectives is often indispensable.
