We require the retail robbery figures for two postcodes for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Would you be able to please provide this information under the Freedom of Information Act?
We said
The lowest geographical breakdown available from ONS crime statistics is by Community Safety Partnership (CSP), which are generally in-line with local authority areas. The relevant CSP in this instance is Bexley CSP, which encompasses the London borough of Bexley.
The attached table includes the number of police recorded offences for the category robbery of business property, for the 2009, 2010, and 2011 calendar years. Please note these data will include all instances of business property robbery, not just cases of armed robbery. It is not possible to separate cases of armed robbery in the information that ONS holds. The source of this data is the Home Office Open Data Tables.
More detailed information on armed robberies should also be available from the Metropolitan Police Service
