FOI 561-2024 / June 2024 / Deliveroo crimes
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 561-2024
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 11th June 2024 as follows:
1) In the 2023/24 financial year (1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024), how many crimes were logged by your force where Deliveroo was recorded as being an element in the offence? [Note: I would hope that this by a computer search on the “investigation summary field” and/or the modus operandi (MO) 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 MO/investigation summary field.
3) Taking a start date of 1st April 2023 please provide me with copies of the first 10 MOs/investigation summary fields that mention Deliveroo. [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.]
Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in providing the response to your request and for any inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please find the Warwickshire Police response set out below.
When reviewing the Information please note the following:
- Searches were conducted for all offences containing keywords ‘deliveroo’ or ‘deliver roo’ within the MO Description / Incident Summary, recorded between 1st April 2023 and 31st March 2024 (inclusive). Searches were performed in upper and lower case.
- The resulting records will include all mentions of the stated keywords, regardless of context, and does not necessarily denote relevance in a crime.
- Keyword searches are not carried out routinely as they are not reliable. They will only bring back records where the chosen keyword(s) is present within the MO Description / Incident Summary of an investigation. These are limited free text fields and, even if relevant, the keyword may not be present within those fields. Therefore, the information provided cannot be assumed to be an accurate representation and should be treated with caution.
