Request:

How many vehicle thefts in your jurisdiction were recorded between January and September 2025?

Response:

Search between 1st January 2025 & 30th September 2025 (Inclusive) for all crime types of Theft of a Motor Vehicle.

Please note that the data above represents the number of vehicles stolen. More than one vehicle may have been stolen during one crime occurrence. As an example, two vehicles may have been stolen at the same time from the driveway of one property; this would have been recorded as one occurrence by Northamptonshire Police but the number of vehicle thefts would be two. As your request asked for the number of vehicle thefts, we have provided that data (and not the number of crime occurrences).

The numerical data presented in this response is an unaudited snapshot of unpublished data sourced from "live" systems and is subject to the interpretation of the original request by the individual extracting the data.

Northamptonshire Police systems are designed primarily for the management of individual cases and not for the production of statistical information for Freedom of Information responses.

The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations, and this should be taken into account when the data is used.

If you decide to write an article or use the enclosed data, we ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.
