Caveat: Given the search of specific words in the Incident Summary and Full Crime Location fields, the reach will return reports for all car parks – home or business/public based. As the request states to be presented only crimes “reported in your local car parks”, which is not clear clarification on the type carpark, all carparks have been included into the issued table. There is also a risk of false positives where the crime has happened on “the way to the car park” (ie. “Dragged him out of school gates towards the car park).
