1) Please state how many of the following crimes were alleged to have occurred and recorded by your force as happening inside Burger King restaurants in the financial year 2022/23.

Assault offences to include all assault offences:
5D - Assault with intent to cause serious harm
8N - Assault with injury
8P - Racially or religiously aggravated assault with injury
105A - Assault without injury
105B - Racially or religiously aggravated assault without injury

Please note I am only interested in assaults which occurred inside the restaurants' premises.

To clarify, an assault that was recorded as having happened 'down the road from' a Burger King would not be of interest, although one that happened inside the restaurant or at least in the doorway/entrance would be.

One offence of Assault with Injury recorded

2) In addition, please state the addresses of the THREE Burger King restaurants in your police force area with the most alleged/recorded assault offences in 2022/23, stating how many occurred for each one.

One offence recorded at Station Parade, Newquay 

3) Finally, please provide me with a verbatim copy of of the "investigation summary field" and/or the modus operandi (MO) for the FIVE most recent cases recorded for each of the top three Burger King locations.
