Technical Surveillance Counter Measures Inspection
Our team conducted:

- Electrical system examinations
- Interior and boot compartment searches
The investigation focused on identifying hidden tracking devices, listening devices, or unauthorised surveillance equipment.
What Our Investigators Discovered

Investigators confirmed the device had the capability to:
- Monitor vehicle movements in real time
- Record travel history and routes
- Operate remotely using mobile network connectivity
The device had been professionally concealed using magnetic mounting equipment designed to avoid detection.
Our investigators documented the device location, technical specifications, and supporting evidence through photographs and detailed reporting.
All findings were preserved as Evidence to a Court Standard.
The Outcome for the Client
Private Investigators provided the client with a comprehensive TSCM report containing:
- Photographic evidence of the device
