Spiking 597/2026
FOI Reference: 597/2026
Request:
Follow-on from FOI request 341/2026:
For question one, I was hoping to receive breakdowns by calendar year - ie. gender for suspects and victims of spiking in 2017, 2018, ..., 2025.
Is it possible to receive the breakdowns by calendar year?
Taken from original request:
- For each calendar year between 2017 – 2025 please provide the total number of offences recorded under HOCR codes 088/05 / 008/02
Please break this down by the following:
- Suspects and victims by gender
- The victim ages under the following age groups: under 18, 18-24, 25-34, 35-50, over 50
- A breakdown of the local authority where the spiking occurred
Response:
I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.
