Request 1
In the 2021 calendar year how many crimes were logged by your force when the social media app TikTok was recorded as being an element in the offence?
Note: I would hope that this could be achieved by a computer search of crimes for the word/s ‘TikTok’ and ‘Tik tok’.
Request 2
In the 2021 calendar year how many crimes were logged by your force where the social media app TikTok was the modus operandi for the offence?

Request 3
In reference to both questions 1 and 2, please provide me with the statistics for the calendar years going back to 2017.

Request 4
Please provide me with a table showing a breakdown of the crimes from question 1 - when the social media app TikTok was recorded as being an element in the offence.
