Hi Louis

In order to answer your request please can we clarify a couple of points:

• Are you requesting the total number of individuals arrested or number of arrest charges (i.e. 1 person can be arrested for multiple drug offences).
• please note that the data we obtain will be from custody records based on cannabis-related offences. 2014 is the earliest data we can produce.

Kind regards

Dear Freedom Of Information,
Thank you very much for your response.

The number of arrest charges (i.e. 1 person can be arrested for multiple drug offences) in relation to marijuana crimes would be perfect thank you. From the year 2014 is also fine thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Louis Simister
