Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

The existing Crimestoppers reward has had limited success in gathering critical information in relation to the crimes committed against a retail premises where it is suspected to have a hate motivation (homophobic), each incident has involved 2 suspects, on a motorcycle, and it is felt that the increased value of the reward will have a positive effect on bringing forward intelligence to solve the crimes and bring offenders to justice

£8,000 be made available for the purpose of an increased value reward. It is intended that the funding will compliment £2,000 of existing Crimestoppers funding that has already been made available since mid-July 2023.
