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

Please note: The Department responsible for providing the information have stated that, although data may be held prior to 2020, it will be difficult to extract due to the variation in the storage processes employed during this time. This is now classed as legacy data, and it is estimated that the task to locate, retrieve and extract this data will greatly exceed the 18 hour threshold authorised under FOI legislation.
