Enquiry Agents
Enquiry agents are usually private investigators who gather information by making physical enquiries, going door to door, to understand a particular subject. This is a supplementary service used to collect observations discreetly and take statements. This can assist with operations such as process serving and person tracing.

Why would I hire an Enquiry Agent?
Investigating the Theft of a Motor Vehicle
Enquiry Agents
Information gathered by Freedom of Information Requests show worrying data that vehicle thefts have risen 60% in the last four years. Whilst many vehicles have tracking devices, a large portion of the vehicles are never recovered and lead to no prosecutions. We are increasingly asked to investigate the theft of motor vehicles and have been able to provide information that has led to the safe recovery of vehicles and prosecution of the thieves.
By spending time going door-to-door, taking statements, obtaining CCTV footage and identifying likely routes the thieves may have taken, we have been able to provide our clients crucial information about the incidents. Our team are happy to discuss the situation with you and explain the possible options and likely associated costs before you commit to any work, if you decide to proceed we will keep you informed throughout the process and present our findings in an investigation report that can be used to assist the police and/or the insurance company.
