Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information his Department holds on the number of thefts from work vehicles that have taken place in (a) the UK, (b) Hampshire and (c) Portsmouth since since 2016.

The Home Office collects data on police recorded crime including theft from a vehicle. These are published quarterly by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The latest figures, for the year ending September 2018, can be accessed here:

However, these data do not identify whether or not the theft is from a work vehicle.
