Our Ref: FOI2024/08229
Request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 Ref No: FOI2024/08229
I write in connection with your request for information received on 21st November. I note you seek access to the following information:
I’m looking for information on jewellery thefts reported by individuals (not retailers) in Cambridgeshire from the following time frames:
• Between 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023.
• From 1st January 2024 till the most recent recorded date of 2024.
I’m specifically interested in: rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. However, if the data is not broken down into categories, then stolen jewellery and/or accessories in general is fine.
Here are my following questions:
1. How many of the items (rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings) were reported stolen during the two time frames?
2. Please can you share the total number of stolen jewellery items per month for each area over 2023/2024? If possible, broken down by jewellery category.
I am required by the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (The Act) to handle all requests in a manner that is blind to the identity of the requestor. Any information released in response to a request is regarded as being published and therefore, in the public domain without caveat.
Following enquiries with Cambridgeshire Constabulary please see our response below.
