A private investigator is legally permitted to undertake covert surveillance and gain photographic or video proof, search public databases and records with use of specialist software, interrogate social media accounts, conduct undercover roles, and carry out discreet enquiries as well as many other activities and methods.

Some examples of acts that a private investigator must not conduct include entering private property without consent of the owner or tenant, acquire private banking details, determine addresses from car registrations, tap phones or hack emails, or install GPS tracking devices without the owner’s consent to name a few.

If you are unsure whether the task you need undertaken is legal in the UK, or if another provider has offered to conduct a service that you believe to be illegal, talk to Bond Rees today and we can provide you with all the information and clarification you require.


Wakefield Private Detective Case Study

Private Investigator Case Study: The Benefits Cheat

Location: Wakefield

We investigated a man in Wakefield regarding a bogus insurance claim

Case Background

Our team of investigators in Wakefield, was contacted by a well-known insurance company regarding a customer who had been injured at work on a building site. The customer’s accident had taken place 6 months prior, where they had broken their leg, cracked ribs, and also complained of neck pain, although nothing was officially diagnosed.

The insurance company had paid out for the initial accident but the claimant was now saying that they were unable to work because they still had major back issues and that they were suffering from PTSD from the accident. The claimant had received a letter from a local clinical physiotherapist that stated they would be out of action for another 12 months, due to the nature of his back injury.

While the letter was from a registered professional, the insurance company had received an anonymous tip-off on the man, saying that he had seen him playing football at a local leisure center, as well as running in the Dad’s race at his child’s sports day.

What we did

After receiving the claimant’s address we placed two investigators on the individual to conduct surveillance over a 2-week period. The length of surveillance gave us enough time to see the individual in different environments and situations where, if he were falsifying his condition, he would eventually let his guard down.

While the start of the week was fairly quiet, things started to get more interesting by mid-week. We followed the man to a building in Leeds town centre, where we looked up the businesses that were registered at the address. We found out that it was the location of his physiotherapist. This matched the name of the physiotherapist on his case notes that were provided us by the insurance company.

When he left the building, he crossed the road with another gentleman and walked into a local pub. Our investigator recognised the other gentleman as the physiotherapist registered at the address, that was on his website. The men seemed to be good friends.

Later that evening, our investigator followed the claimant to a nearby leisure complex in Huddersfield, that had outdoor football pitches. We videoed the claimant running around fairly vigorously for over 50 minutes, seemingly without any physical impediment. What’s more, on further inspection, we noticed that one of the other players on the pitch was none other than the man’s physiotherapist who he had visited earlier that day.

The Results

We gave the visual evidence to the insurance company who were satisfied that the man was trying to process a bogus insurance claim. In addition, it was also concluded that his physiotherapist was actually a close friend of the man and, knowing the claimant was able to play football, was still signing him off from work.

The final result was that the insurance company was able to prosecute the man for the false claim and also report the physiotherapist to his governing body for malpractice.
