The Home Office collects and publishes data quarterly on police recorded crime, broken down by Police Force Area, which can be found here:

This includes the number of recorded offences of violence with injury, robbery of business property and fraud. However, information on the value of theft or whether or not fraud was committed online is not held centrally by the Home Office.
