British Transport Police

The complainant has requested from British Transport Police (‘BTP’), images of the suspects involved in the theft of his property. BTP refused the request on the grounds that section 30 (investigations and proceedings) and section 40 (personal information) of the FOIA applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that BTP was entitled to rely on section 30(1)(a)(i) to refuse the request.  She requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
