No specific information held regarding level of lighting and CCTV. There is no separate field to record if CCTV was available or the level of lighting at the offence location. Where CCTV it is mentioned within the incident summary this has been listed in the table. None of the incident summaries make any reference to the level of lighting and therefore we are unable to answer this particular question.
