Vehicle bugging device found

A senior executive found what he suspected to be a bugging device in his vehicle while attempting to change a flat tyre on a Saturday morning.

He immediately called and we arranged a neutral local venue to take the vehicle to for further inspection. We provided practical, real-time advice on how to handle the situation, what to say and to whom.

• The device was assessed and photographed before being removed from the vehicle (whilst preserving any forensic evidence)
• The vehicle was fully searched and a TSCM sweep was performed
• The CEO was contacted discreetly and a meeting (at a neutral venue) was arranged that afternoon where the situation, initial assessment and plan of action were discussed
• By Sunday evening all executive level vehicles had been discreetly searched and swept
• Forensic investigation of the device revealed its function, operational date and potential owner. Utilising this information a risk exposure assessment was performed and appropriate mitigating steps were taken
• Utilising all the information an internal investigation took place, suspect identified and appropriate actions followed
