I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I would like to request the following data: 1. The number of recorded crimes involving electric bicycles (e-bikes) for each year from 2019 to the most recent available year. 2. A breakdown of the types of crimes in which e-bikes were involved (e.g. theft, robbery, assault, drug offences, etc.). 3. If available, a breakdown of this data by town or local policing area within your jurisdiction. 4. Any internal assessments or reports regarding the rise or trend in e-bike-related crimes over this period. Please provide the information in a machine-readable format (e.g. Excel, CSV, or PDF). If this request exceeds the cost limit, I would be grateful if you could advise on how it might be refined to stay within the limit.
