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

loyal customers, phones you. She tells you that the previous day (Tuesday 11 October

office. He offered to sell her 2 CPU processors for R600 a piece. The normal retail

, Complex in Midrand when Melvin approached her. 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.
