Suspect employee is involved with suspicious package

Q: I run a marketing team and a delivery arrived in the last working hour of the day containing £5,000 worth of tobacco. The delivery came from Belgium, had an unrecognisable name on it and was marked as books. I believe it may have bypassed customs. I told security to inform me if anyone came to the desk to ask for the package. A marketing manager attempted to pick the package up, after which I called her in and asked why she had made the order. She looked into the package and stated that it was nothing to do with her. What should be done about his situation?

A: It would be advisable to call the police. If you have suspicions about the employee asking for the package then you must conduct an investigatory meeting at this stage and inform the employee that they are currently being investigated. Tell them that they will be updated in due course.
