Vehicle theft
Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request ref: 01/FIN/23/1301
Version Date: 11/12/2023
I’m trying to establish whether there has been a significant rise in the number of vehicle thefts in the UK. Would it be possible to get Dorset Police force’s monthly figures starting from January 2022 up to and including October 2023?
