Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many instances of motorcycle theft have been reported in each of the past three financial years; and how many successful prosecutions have been brought over the same period.

The Home Office does not hold the requested information centrally.

Statistics on theft or unauthorised taking of a motor vehicle, which will include motorcycles, are regularly published by the Office for National Statistics. This can be found in Table A4 of the latest Crime in England and Wales publication.

Information on prosecutions is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. They have informed us that they do not hold the requested data.
