Confiscated Computers

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many computers have been confiscated in relation to offences reported to (a) East Belfast District Command Unit and (b) Castlereagh District Command Unit in each year since 1998; how many reports led to (i) prosecution and (ii) conviction; and what this figure is as a percentage of the total.

No central record is maintained to identify the number of computers confiscated in a particular District Command Unit. To obtain this information would involve a manual trawl of records at disproportionate cost. Statistics relating to prosecutions and convictions resulting from the confiscation of computers is not recorded.
