‘Deliveroo Related’ Crime (740A/23)
Request
1) In the 2022 calendar year, how many crimes were logged by your force where Deliveroo was recorded as being an element?
[Note: I would hope that this could be achieved by a computer search on the MO and/or “Investigation Summary” fields 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 modus operandi and/or the “Investigation Summary”/free-text field.
3) Taking a start date of January 2022 please provide me with copies of the MO and/or “Investigation Summary” fields for the first 10 crimes linked to Deliveroo by its mention.
[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.]

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes.

As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting those data.
The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into account when those data are used.
If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data we would ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies, or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.
