Most Collateral Recovered

Biggest Bust

Location: ON, Canada
Scenario: Absolute’s investigation of a laptop stolen in a recent break-and-enter lead to a long chain of criminal activity. In the process of using Computrace intel to track down the machine’s unauthorized user, police uncovered multiple other stolen items, including credit cards, wallets, weapons and bikes. In addition, a sizable quantity of narcotics was discovered, along with evidence of a fraud operation. Several arrests were made and over 10 charges laid. Not bad for a day’s work… 

Most Unlikely Thief

Location: MA, USA
Scenario: A terminated employee was the suspect in question after a company was left minus one laptop. A surprising thief of sorts, this suspect also happened to be a part-time police officer. Perhaps this is why he knew not to lie to the investigator who confronted him – he admitted that he had stolen the laptop out of spite for his former employer, and sheepishly handed over the machine.

Please note that indictments and criminal complaints are merely unproven accusations and the accused in all cases are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
