Crimes involving Deliveroo 592/2024

FOI Reference: 592/2024

Request:

1) In the 2023/24 financial year (1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024), how many crimes were logged by your force where Deliveroo was recorded as being an element in the offence? [Note: I would hope that this by a computer search on the “investigation summary field” and/or the modus operandi (MO) of crimes for the word/s "deliveroo, "deliver roo".]

2) Please provide me with a table showing a breakdown of the crimes from Question 1 that are ‘linked’ to Deliveroo by its mention in the MO/investigation summary field.

3) Taking a start date of 1st April 2023 please provide me with copies of the first 10 MOs/investigation summary fields that mention Deliveroo. [Note: To avoid falling into an exemption I am content for the names, ages, geography or any other detail to be redacted to allow for the disclosure of the incident and how it relates to Deliveroo.]  

 

Response:

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

0 crimes.

Please note that we do have one fraud incident in which Deliveroo is mentioned. Details taken from the MO: Suspect has used victim’s bank card without permission within the last two days. Suspect has taken £140 from victim’s account to pay for stuff on eBay and Deliveroo.

                                               

                                                           

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.
