*Please note in relation to no outcome applied, fraud cases that are reported to the police are then directed to action fraud to record/investigate centrally. The National Fraud Reporting Centre was created and given responsibility to record all Fraud centrally and provide these figures to the Home Office. Therefore, should a member of the public contact their local force to report fraud, they are given the contact details for Action Fraud (telephone and web address) and asked to redirect their report to them, unless one of 3 (call for service) criteria are met:
- A locally identified offender
- A crime in action
- A vulnerable victim making the report
Where this criteria is met, the force will record a crime and in the first 2 cases start to investigate. These cases are still notified to Action Fraud and state that the force is dealing with a matter, in order that it can be recorded.
Unlike all other crimes, fraud, is recorded in the force where the offender is located. When Action Fraud can establish the location of the offender the report will be sent to that force for them to deal with. North Yorkshire police receive between 250‐400 victim reports of fraud a month, of which only a small proportion are referred for further investigation.
Furthermore to the above a crime may be awaiting an outcome to be applied due to awaiting finalisation.
Please note that systems used for recording information are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data. It should be noted therefore that this force’s response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other responses you may receive.
