The Ministry of Defence (MOD) works hard to detect and deter theft and there are robust processes in place to raise awareness of the need for vigilance in all aspects of security. Just as theft occurs in wider society, the MOD is not immune and we actively encourage individuals to report any evidence of loss or suspicion of theft. It is important to note that in some cases of reported theft the property is later recovered. In the case of key assets however, MOD sites have a wide range of additional security measures to ensure their safety.
111 reported incidents of theft that included items above £250 were recorded for the period 1 November 2014 - 31 October 2015. 60 reported incidents of theft that included items above £250 were recorded for the period 1 November 2015 - 31 October 2016.
In respect of the further detailed information requested concerning stolen items over £250 will take time to collate and I will write to the hon. Member shortly.
