Response
We have included 2020/2021 in the data provided in case this was omitted in error form your request.
You have requested information relating to key word searches for specific terms. While we have provided this information below as requested, please note that results based on key word searches can be misleading and the data they produce do not constitute a reliable basis from which to draw wider conclusions. This is because the terms may appear within the MO field of the crime report for any number of reasons, regardless of how relevant they are to the occurrence itself. Equally, occurrences that may in fact be related to the subject of a request would not be included in results if the specific search terms were not recorded, for example if more generic terms were used.
The tables below show the number of crimes matching the requested criteria between 01 January 2019 to 15 January 2025.
