2025 28030 Process of recording stolen dogs and dog thefts 2024

REQUEST

I am writing to make the following Freedom of Information request:
1. How, it at all, has the process for recording stolen dogs (under the Theft Act) to abducted dogs (under the Pet Abduction Act) changed in 2024?
2. What were the total number of dog theft crimes in 2024 (monthly breakdown if possible)?
3. What was the outcome (charge/summons, community resolution, active investigation, evidential difficulties, no suspect identified) for each dog theft crime in 2024?
4. How many dogs were listed with each dog theft crime in 2024? 5. If this question doesn't take us beyond the time required for free FOI feedback, can details about stolen dog breed, gender, age, and location of theft (walk, home, garden, outside shop, from car etc) also be provided for 2024 please?
6. If this question doesn't take us beyond the time required for free FOI feedback, can postcode of recorded crime and CRN be included?
