Please see attached tables. Please be advised that this specific offence was only introduced in April 2015 and therefore information is only available from this time. Please note that not all offences have a suspect and victim recorded and also some crimes have had more than one victim and suspect recorded, therefore the overall total will not match the total number of offences.
