Data Limitations:
- A person can be arrested for multiple drug possession with intent to supply offences and/or drug supply offences at the same time. This data is representative of the number of unique arrests, not the number of arrests for each offence or the number of unique people arrested.
- For question 2 - the absence of arrest data for certain years/ certain offences indicates a nil return for this data.
For the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, please can you tell me:
The TOTAL number of arrests for possession with intent to supply and supplying drugs.
|
2022 |
634 |
|
2023 |
769 |
|
2024 |
766 |
|
Total |
2169 |
And the TOTAL number of arrests of under-18s for possession with intent to supply and supplying drugs.
Ideally, I wish for the LATTER to be broken down by year, age (i.e. 17, 16...), the type of drugs being confiscated and/or substance the suspect is accused of possessing with intent to supply and supplying (e.g. heroin, cannabis, etc.), and provided in a spreadsheet format.
