The Home Office holds statistics on notifiable offences recorded by the police. The police record offences of thefts in a number of categories and supply this information to the Home Office. Thefts of pets in general as well as dogs and cats more specifically are most likely to be recorded within ‘other theft’ and cannot be separately identified within this category.
