You asked
I would like to request fraud data broken down by London borough.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the data you have requested.
We produce statistics from two main sources, the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and Police Recorded Crime (PRC). We publish statistics on fraud and computer misuse in our quarterly bulletins and a more detailed Nature of crime: fraud and computer misuse article and accompanying tables which may be of use to you.
Our Crime in England and Wales appendix tables present the number of fraud and computer misuse offences recorded by Action Fraud or referred to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) (Table A5). These figures are also presented by police force area which is broken down by City of London and Metropolitan Police in our Crime in England and Wales police force area tables (Table P10). Data by quarterly and monthly time periods is also in our Crime in England and Wales quarterly data tables.
If you have any other queries, you can contact us at crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk.
We would suggest that the Home Office may be better placed to assist you with your specific query. Their crime team can be contacted at CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gov.uk.
