Sharp rise in crimes committed by European migrants in UK

New figures show that crimes committed by Eastern European immigrants have increased by up to 800 per cent in some parts of the UK, reports the Daily Telegraph.

It says the findings cast doubts on a report from the Association of Chief Police Officers, which said that the surge in immigrants had not fuelled a rise in crime.

The study found that migrant crime had put extra pressure on forces, diverting cash away from other crime fighting duties but had not lead to an increase in crime.
