Summary

This release covers offences involving metal theft recorded by police in England and Wales. Metal theft is not a crime defined by law, but is recorded by police under broader offence classifications, such as other theft offences and burglary. It refers to thefts of items for the value of their constituent metals, rather than the acquisition of the item. This release, where possible, differentiates between infrastructure-related metal theft and non-infrastructure-related metal theft.
