* Excluding criminal damage where property to the value of less than £20 was damaged. The figures exclude 46 crimes known—none being robberies—which were reported by Thames Division and cannot be attributed to any particular London borough.
† This category includes offences of robbery contrary to Section 8 of the Theft Act 1968, and offences of assault with intent to rob. It is not possible to distinguish offences in which violence was actually used, but in all offences classified as robbery there is an act or threat of violence.
