<p>The Government recognises the distress and disruption that metal theft, including
the theft of catalytic converters, can cause.</p><p>The Office for National Statistics
(ONS) publishes police recorded crime data on metal theft offences annually which
can be found here: <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/focusonpropertycrimeappendixtables"
target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/focusonpropertycrimeappendixtables</a>.
Whilst the ONS data does not separate out theft of catalytic converters, this would
be recorded under non-infrastructure related incidents.</p><p>We continue to work
closely with the police, industry and others to understand what more we can do to
tackle vehicle-related theft.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
