FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: FOI-708-2023
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 1st August 2023 as follows:
1) Please state how many of the following crimes were alleged to have occurred and recorded by your force as happening inside Burger King restaurants in the financial year 2022/23.
Assault offences to include all assault offences:
5D - Assault with intent to cause serious harm
8N - Assault with injury
8P - Racially or religiously aggravated assault with injury
105A - Assault without injury
105B - Racially or religiously aggravated assault without injury
Please note I am only interested in assaults which occurred inside the restaurants' premises.
To clarify, an assault that was recorded as having happened 'down the road from' a Burger King would not be of interest, although one that happened inside the restaurant or at least in the doorway/entrance would be.
2) In addition, please state the addresses of the THREE Burger King restaurants in your police force area with the most alleged/recorded assault offences in 2022/23, stating how many occurred for each one.
3) Finally, please provide me with a verbatim copy of of the "investigation summary field" and/or the modus operandi (MO) for the FIVE most recent cases recorded for each of the top three Burger King locations.
Please find the Warwickshire Police response set out below.
Response: Searches were conducted for offences falling under the stated codes and recorded during the financial year 2022/23. The resulting records were then filtered to show offences where the location premises name is ‘Burger King’ or where ‘Burger King’ appears within the location address field or MO Description / Incident Summary fields. I can advise that this produced a nil return and our response is therefore ‘no information held’.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is as accurate as possible.
Your attention is drawn to the below which details your right of complaint.
Should you have any further enquiries concerning this matter, please write or email the Freedom of Information Unit quoting the reference number above.
Yours sincerely
