FOREIGN nationals have committed more than 200,000 offences over the past five years, shock figures reveal.
And this is believed to be just the tip of the iceberg, as only one in four police forces were prepared to release information.
Reform UK uncovered the figures, which exposes the extent of law-breaking by foreign nationals in England and Wales.
The crimes include violence, theft, burglary, robbery and sexual assault.
Reform’s head of policy Zia Yusuf writes in today’s Sun on Sunday: “Foreign nationals are committing a staggering amount of crime in the UK, but both Tory and Labour governments have hidden the sheer scale of it for years.”
The figures were obtained by Freedom of Information requests sent to all 43 police forces.
Reform said 32 failed to respond and some claimed their systems could not collate the data cost-effectively.
It comes as Reform overtook Labour as Britain’s largest political party.
According to The Times, Labour has fewer than 250,000 members — well below that of Nigel Farage’s party, which has 268,000.
The Sun also reported today on how a brazen criminal who was deported multiple times has been seen boasting on British streets after sneaking back into the UK.
Convicted Czech drug dealer Patrik Durac, 27, was expelled from the country indefinitely in 2023 following a string of offences including violent disorder and supplying Class A drugs.
The 27-year-old posing defiantly and even flashed a two-finger salute in a case critics say shows how Britain’s borders are being treated like a “revolving door”.
Durac sparked anger after it emerged he later attempted to re-enter Britain again using false identity documents, a court heard.
