Shoplifting offences 1082/2024
FOI Reference: 1082/2024
Request
How many shoplifting offences were recorded by the police force, each month, from January 2017 to December 2023?
Clarification sought
Are you referring to incidents or crimes? Please note an incident is different from a crime. An incident is a record of contact made to a police force by an individual/member of public (usually via a 999 or 101 call) and a crime is where the threshold has been met for the police force to deem that a criminal offence has occurred as defined by law.
Clarification received
I can confirm it is the number of shoplifting crimes I am looking for. The monthly shoplifting crime figures from January 2017 to December 2023.
Response
I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.
