Case study You are the investigator at Midrand Computer Technologies. You are mandated to investigate all incidents of crime and misconduct at the company. On Wednesday 12 October 2022, at 14:45, Ms Mpho Mokwena of the World of Computers, one of your loyal customers, phones you. She tells you that the previous day (Tuesday 11 October 2022 at 13:35) the driver of your delivery vehicle, Mr Melvin Naidoo, visited her in her office. He offered to sell her 2 CPU processors for R600 a piece. The normal retail price on these items is R1250.00 each. Melvin also offered more specials each month. He told Mpho that this is old stock that he buys at employee discount prices. If she bought from him, she could pay the money (via EFT) into his Captic bank account. Melvin proceeded to write down the banking details for a Captic bank account on a scrap of paper and handed it to Mpho. He said that he hoped to hear from her soon, then winked at her and left the office.

Ms Jessica Stein, her secretary was also in the office and overheard everything. When making your own enquiries, Ms Jennifer Nel, who has worked at Midrand Computer Technologies for 15 years, comes forward with more information. Because of this you decide to use her as an informer. Jennifer tells you that she has heard (what she thought was office rumours) that the following two employees are stealing old stock from the storage lockers and are selling this to external non-suspecting customers: Ms Indira Kleinbooi, the stock controller responsible for making sure that the stock reflected on the invoices is loaded onto the delivery vehicles. Mr Melvin Naidoo, the driver responsible for the delivery of legitimately purchased stock to the customers: he removes the stock from the premises, after which he sells it to customers at a ‘discount price’. These two employees then share the proceeds. You ask Jennifer Nel to obtain further information which could assist you in your investigation. You review the CCTV footage for the past 6 months and you determine that Melvin is stealing stock. You commence planning for a surveillance operation on Melvin to monitor his movements, and to gather evidence of the illegal sale of the stolen stock. The criminal definition of theft is: The unlawful and intentional taking of corporeal property with the intention to permanently deprive the lawful owner of the commercial value thereof.
