[Note: I would hope that this could be determined by a computer search on the “investigation summary field” and/or the modus operandi (MO) of crimes for the company names.]

2) Please provide me with a table showing a breakdown of the crimes from Question 1 that are ‘linked’ to Deliveroo, Just Eat, and/or Uber Eats by their mention in the MO/investigation summary field. Please break down the total by company.

3) Taking a start date of 1st April 2024 please provide me with copies of the first 10 MOs/investigation summary fields that mention either Deliveroo, Just Eat and/or Uber Eats. [Note: To assist with disclosure and to avoid engaging exemptions under s.40, I am content for names, locations, and other identifying details to be redacted.

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.

Response 3:

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.

The victim reports that their ex-partner has been constantly demanding money. The victim also states the Alleged Offender (AO) delivers food to their address when it should be the AO’s friend actually making the deliveries as they are the one who works for Just Eat. The victim has told the AO to stop messaging asking for money and has blocked the AO but the AO rings them using withheld numbers.                                              

It should be noted that as a result of the systems adopted by Dyfed-Powys Police in relation to the recording of such information that the information released may or may not be accurate.

Furthermore, it should also be noted that Police forces in the United Kingdom are routinely required to provide crime statistics to government bodies and the recording criteria is set nationally. However, the systems used for recording these figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the crime data. It should be noted that for these reasons this force's response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other response you may receive.
