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.
