Offences where the offender used a weapon from 2016 to 2022

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.24.041639

I note you seek access to the following information:

Offenders who used weapons (can be any weapon) in specific offences, what is their ethnicity.

I would like this for:
Rape
Other sexual offences not covered up Rape
Level 2: Robbery using a weapon

Between 2016 to 2022

For clarity, by 'used weapon', does not mean actually hurt the victim with the weapon, this can include threats of violence with a weapon, for instance a sexual offence which takes place under the threat of harm of a knife to give an example or any offence which had a weapon *present*.

Please aggregate the figures (so 2016 to 2022 as a combined time period). If you could, could you provide this by borough. I am more specifically after:

Lambeth, Southwark, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham, Islington, Wandsworth, Kensington, Hammersmith, Lewisham, Camden and Westminster, Haringey and Brent but if it's easier please just provide all boroughs
