The complainant requested information relating to the Kent Police’s (the Police’s) investigation of an allegation of the theft of a vehicle that he had reported. The Police withheld the requested information on the basis of section 30(1)(b) of FOIA. The Commissioner concluded that some of the requested information was in fact the complainant’s personal data and thus was exempt from disclosure under section 40(1) of FOIA. With regard to the parts of the requested information which do not constitute the complainant’s own personal data, the Commissioner has concluded that it is not exempt from disclosure under section 30(1)(b) but is exempt from disclosure under section 30(1)(a)(i) of FOIA.
