Undercover Report – Case File 19-52
Agent: Harper (cover identity)
Date: 07/22 – 07/26

Subject controls a pawnshop that exhibits transaction volumes and cash handling inconsistent with normal retail activity. Cover identity as electronics repair tech granted backroom access to the testing bench, DVR cabinet, and inventory cage. On 07/23, the subject hosted a closed‑door meeting with four associates who arrived separately and staggered departures. Through the vent grate, agent heard references to “offshore wires,” “clean accounts,” and “quarter‑end flush.” Subject maintained a spiral ledger with denominations recorded in columns that do not match typical point‑of‑sale exports.

On 07/24, the subject ordered cameras repositioned to avoid capturing the safe directly. Agent was subtly tested regarding loyalty—assigned an after‑hours soldering task while the subject counted bundled currency on the shop floor. Later that night, an unmarked van delivered two duffel bags that were moved to the vault without intake paperwork. Subject personally signed a receipt on blank stationery and pocketed the copy.

On 07/25, subject complained about “Treasury heat” and instructed the bookkeeper to route payments through two new accounts, both named with common surnames. Names did not match any employee records. Agent retrieved partial account numbers from a discarded note.

Cover remains credible. Recommend immediate financial task‑force review of the ledger, subpoena of the newly referenced accounts, and discreet license‑plate canvass for the van. Surveillance continuity is advised; subject exhibits rising paranoia yet continues to centralize cash at the location.
