The below should be noted when viewing the figures above:
- The data has been taken from Systems where the item type was either caravan or motorhome.
- All of the above relate to Caravans, there were no returns for motorhomes.
- The data has been divided into fiscal quarters and the date range is from 01/01/2019 to 31/03/2023.
- Stolen and recovered vehicles have been included but damaged vehicles have been excluded.
- Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting those data.
- The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into account when those data are used.
