Hello New Zealand Police,
I am writing to request the statistics and data on stolen vehicles in Lower Hutt.
Specifically I would request an "excel spreadsheet" containing the following columns from the date range - 01/06/2023 - 31/05/2024.
- Date stolen*
- Date victim reported it as stolen*
- Date of first correspondence from police to the victim after report was made.
- Location stolen from*
- Was CCTV or imagery evidence provided to police or uploaded to VAULT? (Y/N)*
- Date?
- Vehicle Rego*
- Make/Model & Year
- Vehicle Found (Y/N)*
- Damaged? details?*
- Date recovered?*
- Location recovered?*
- Was the vehicle identified in other areas in lower hutt prior to its final location?
- Date victim advised of recovery?
- Suspects found?* (Y/N)
- Suspects charged?* (Y/N)
- What was the charge? and punishment?*
- Specifically any reparations? (Y/N)
- Specifically any Suspension of licence? (Y/N)
If this date range is too wide. please shorten this to the most recent 6 month period ending at the most recent date available.
I have limited this data to specifically Lower Hutt to reduce the required workload in acquiring this data.
All above requested data is highly valuable and would be greatly appreciated if it can be provided. However, I understand something may not have been recorded in a manor that is accessible within reason on request. details marked with a (*) are of the highest priority.
Vault uploads and suspects charged is of key interest into this enquiry.
Much appreciated

Dear Information Requests,
No worries guys,
Thanks for the update. And i appreciate the extensive workload the police are under.
Ideally this information is provided as soon as possible, as it is being used to ensure the Hutt Council have the right information regarding the extent of impact these stolen cars are having within the area and reinforcing the point that it needs to be an area of focus within the currently being updated 10 year plan.
delays in providing this information will likely result in low to no allocation of funds within the 10year 3.5mil budget.
As well as provide me with a better understanding of the primary area around of the hutt that will benefit from additional CCTV coverage through community funding project i have underway. This is separate to the council plans.
For reference this is last weeks council meeting.
I spoke first - Shortcut to my speech
