Dear Information Requests,
You have not answered my question, I did not request "additional costs", I requested information for costs related to this operation.
For the purposes of explicit clarity, please provide details of all costs incurred in relation to this operation, this should include hours staff spend in the planning, execution and any post execution activities including media briefings related to this operation.
This is regardless of which budget they came from. If you do not have an explicit dollar value, please detail hours worked by staff, both sworn and non-sworn.
Additionally, if such data exists, please provide an estimated value of the "stolen" good recovered.
Yours sincerely,
Alan Johnstone

Alan,
Thanks for making this request. I was just about to do the same.
I would also explicitly ask for the cost of wages of those involved in all aspects of the Operation.
If you can, it may also be interesting to see the estimated cost of goods returned to the supermarkets.
Chur,
Gold
