Police have been called in to investigate allegations of stalking and “corporate espionage” made by several Boohoo Group executives.
Manchester and Kent police forces are reportedly looking into reports of stalking against group chief executive Dan Finley, former boss John Lyttle and co-founder Mahmud Kamani, according to The Times.
The identity of the perpetrators is unknown and no arrests have yet been made.
Finley, Lyttle and Kamani claim they have been followed over the past few months by men on public transport and in public in London, Kent and Manchester. They also claim they have been watched by people outside of their homes.
Boohoo chair Kamani said he had been assaulted by one individual, while Lyttle claims to have come across two men at his home.
The fast fashion retailer also reported it had discovered surveillance equipment outside of its Manchester headquarters on November 13, which it said was illicitly recording staff arriving and leaving work.
The device was removed and handed over to Manchester police.
Both Greater Manchester and Kent police have confirmed an investigation into the allegations is ongoing.
