Statistics on suspects 'Released Under Investigation'

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Sussex Police should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Sussex Police,

Between 03 April 2017 and 12 November 2018, how many suspects were released under investigation following arrest in Hampshire?

Of these suspects, how many subsequently had a warrant issued for their arrest (after having been released under investigation in Hampshire?

Yours faithfully,
