Stolen cars
Freedom of Information Act request number: 2022-139
Version date: 08/03/2022
The Performance & Analysis Department have provided the following information:
For Q2, we have included the information available for the value. This has been sourced from the property value field in Niche, however this is not a mandatory field for completion and is frequently not completed, and therefore the totals in this field are not a true reflection of the value.
For Q3, it was not possible to review all thefts from vehicles. The information provided is the result of a niche search for offences of theft from a vehicle and then a keyword search of the item listed. Therefore it has not been possible to return any data for ‘other’.
For Q4, as per Q2, we have included the information available for the value. This has been sourced from the property value field in Niche, however this is not a mandatory field for completion and is frequently not completed, and therefore the totals in this field are not a true reflection of the value.
