Recently we worked with a solicitor who required evidence of someone repeatedly flouting geographically restrictive bail conditions. The person in question was not allowed to enter a specific postal code area or go near a witness’ place of work.
We received a phone call late at night, bringing our attention to a series of Facebook posts from the ‘target’ in which he bragged to his friends online that he was going to do a “walk past” the witness’ place of work to “scare her” and to prove that he was not “going to back down”.
By 8am the next morning we were on site outside the home of the ‘target’ and we engaged eyes-on surveillance of him two and a half hours later. He was followed on foot into his local metro station, onto a metro, into the city and back out again – but this time he got off the metro early and therefore went into an area that the courts had formally prevented him from entering whilst on bail.
He was videoed on covert, time-stamped, cameras moving around the area and captured walking up to the witness’ place of work and standing on the other side of the road for just over 20 minutes, smoking. We then followed him back to the nearest metro station within the restricted area of his bail conditions, took photos of him at this location and covert surveillance was completed.
Our solicitor client was happy with the evidence acquired and the identified individual found his bail conditions were swiftly revoked.
