PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR REVEALS HOW HE TRACKS HIS TARGETS
By JAMES HOLT
You wouldn't have a clue we've been watching you

SWEEPING properties for listening devices, uncovering people wrongfully claiming sick pay or following unfaithful partners around Manchester. There is nowhere a private investigator can’t be and nothing they can’t uncover.

Anyone can be monitored covertly by teams of former MI5, military, police and cyber crime experts – without them knowing.

Positioned in clandestine vehicles or sitting nonchalantly in restaurants while listening into private conversations, it all happens right under our noses.

As private investigator Aaron Bond explains, his large team of specialists receive more than 200 calls a day requesting their services, from unmasking cheating partners to job-poachers flouting non-compete agreements. Although they operate across the UK, Greater Manchester is their busiest patch.

As well as their skilled intelligence teams, they also have ‘normal civilians’ working covertly; pensioners and sleuths dressed as every day workers that would ‘never be questioned’ – all in a bid to uncover the truth.

From Stockport to the city centre and Tameside, the operations at Aaron’s company Bond Rees can last for weeks on end, with around-the-clock surveillance uncovering the most distressing and earth-shattering revelations.

“There is nothing we can’t find out and nowhere we can’t be,” Aaron told the M.E.N. “Our busiest (area) is in Manchester and across the North West. We have former MI5 agents, ex counter-terror police, military intelligence, and special forces working for us.

“But we also have normal civilians who have never worked in the forces. They are some of the best people that work for me, and are the best at digging without being questioned.
