Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')
As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.
You asked:
1) The number of recorded aggravated burglaries involving a cash machine (ATM) for the 2017-18 financial year.
2) The number of recorded aggravated attempted burglaries involving a cash machine (ATM) for the 2017-18 financial year.
In Response:
We have now had the opportunity to fully consider your request and I provide a response for your attention.
Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the Corporate Development Department of Northumbria Police.
Searches were made for burglary offences where the location was cash dispenser and the following keywords/phrases were in the MO:
Cash dispenser
ATM
Automatic teller machine
Bank machine
Hole in the wall
Hole-in-the-wall
There were no results that matched the HO code for ‘Aggravated burglary in a building other than a dwelling’.
Therefore the response to both points of this request is zero.
