I’m looking for information on jewellery thefts reported by individuals (not retailers) in Dorset from the following time frames:
- Between 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023.
- From 1st January 2024 till the most recent recorded date of 2024.
I’m specifically interested in: rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. However, if the data is not broken down into categories, then stolen jewellery and/or accessories in general is fine.
Here are my following questions:
1. How many of the items (rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings) were reported stolen during the two time frames?
2. Please can you share the total number of stolen jewellery items per month for each area over 2023/2024? If possible, broken down by jewellery category.
The Performance & Analysis Department have provided the following information.
We downloaded all data via the crime niche database and filtered on the main crime groups to show ‘theft from a motor vehicle’, ‘dwelling burglary’, ‘burglary other’ and ‘theft’.
We then filtered on the general property type to show the keywords of ‘jewellery’, ‘ring’, ‘rings’, ‘bracelet’, ‘bracelets’, ‘earring’, ‘earrings’, ‘necklace’ and ‘necklaces’
