I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am seeking figures for recorded crimes of burglary and theft occurring at construction or building sites in your force area over the last five full years (2020 to 2025). If you can provide the data for 2026 too (year to date or up to the most recent date you can) this will also be gratefully received. By "construction or building site" I mean premises where building, civil engineering or demolition work is taking place, including sites under active development and their associated compounds, site offices and storage. If you hold a searchable "location type" or "premises type" field, please provide figures for whichever categories correspond to construction/building sites and state those in your response. For each of the five years (and 2026 if applicable) please provide the number of recorded crimes, broken down by offence type, for: 1. Burglary (business and community / non-residential) at construction or building sites; and 2. Theft of building materials, plant, tools or equipment from construction or building sites. In addition, for each of these recorded crimes, is it possible to provide a geographic breakdown at the most detailed area level you are able to release without breaching data protection? — for example by local authority district, policing area/BCU, town, or partial (outward) postcode.
