Request
I'm writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act to request some figures around crime.
I would like a breakdown of what are the 5 most common crimes that have been committed in Jersey and also in Guernsey in the last 12 months. If I can get the figures month by month since May 2021, that would be great.
Response
Five most common crimes recorded by the States of Jersey Police between May 2021 and April 2022
