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:
I would like the statistics for the number of caravan thefts reported in Northumbria from 2015-2018.
If possible, I would also like the breakdown of these by the month they were reported.
In Response:
Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the Corporate Development Department of Northumbria Police. I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by Northumbria Police.
I am able to disclose the located information to you as follows.
Please note that the date was collated through a search of all crimes allocated between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2018 with a linked vehicle or linked property which was categorised as a caravan. As these fields are not mandatory when recording the crime, there may be other relevant instances of theft which have not been found during this search. Crimes included are those where the property/vehicle has been marked as stolen or recovered and the crime type is theft. Bearing this in mind, please see the following
