Caveat : Due to a change in our local recording systems we have provided information from 01/01/2019. There is no specific offence title for either the Theft of a Caravan or Theft from Caravan. For example if a Caravan is stolen from within a building it could be classed as a Burglary non dwelling or if it is stolen from a driveway it could be classed as a Theft other. Similarly if items are stolen from within a caravan, if the caravan is a persons permanent dwelling it could be recorded as a Burglary dwelling or if the windows were stolen then it could be classed as Theft from vehicle. In order to complete this request therefore have used a wide range of offence groups and used a keyword search within the incident summary. Please note also included attempt offences, for example where an attempt was made to steal a caravan or where a caravan was entered but nothing was stolen from within.
