Summary of request
Dear Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime,
On Sunday 4th February 2018 at just after 4pm, my bicycle was stolen from outside of Morley College (Music College), 61 Westminster Bridge Road, London,SE1 7HT.
This act has a crime number: 1203543/18. The Metropolitan police retrieved the cctv footage on the 7th February (3 days later) but on the Friday (2 further days later) I received a letter from them saying that the case had been closed. The officer, whose name I have if required, said that he'd contact me again but has not.
The facilities manager will only allow me access to the cctv footage if the police approve it, citing data protection - there can be no doubt that the thief was stealing my property, so why should he be afforded such protection.
My request under the Freedom of Information act is to be able to view what I am told are good images of the thief cutting through the lock on my bicycle and removing both it and the bicycle.
