This Is What Community Looks Like

Migrant-linked case index · UK · source-linked research

A portable, filterable index of documented cases in the working dataset, split by country, hotel/accommodation site, case group and procedural status.

Important scope note: this is not a national crime total. It combines documented resident/offender-linked cases with people-smuggling and immigration-facilitation cases, labels those groups separately, and excludes protestors from the resident/offender view. All case and statistics data is embedded in this HTML file.
—documented cases
—conviction / guilty-plea records
—named hotel/site groupings
—pending / ongoing records

Documented records by year

This chart shows the number of records in this dataset by event year after filtering. It is not an incidence rate and should not be read as a trend in crime prevalence.

Nationality / identity labels in the dataset

Labels are reproduced or summarised from the cited source; “not stated” and uncertain claims remain visible.

Aggregate statistics available

These are source-linked aggregate measures, mostly immigration-route statistics. They are not denominators for the documented case sample, so per-capita crime rates and causal correlations are not calculated.

How to use this index

Use Resident/offender-linked to view cases where the source identifies an asylum seeker, refugee, hotel resident or Home Office accommodation link. Resident/HMO's is narrower: it is limited to source-stated shared, dispersal, Home Office or asylum residential accommodation. It does not assert that every address is a licensed HMO. Use People-smuggling / facilitation and Irregular-entry / immigration offence to view immigration-related offending and allegations separately.

Use Sort by after filtering to order the visible results by event date, publication date, country, procedural status, name or location. Country · newest within each and Status · newest within each create grouped views; convictions-first and ongoing/allegations-first keep the remaining records in descending event-date order.

The optional Grey-area incidents item is selected from the Case group dropdown and filtered with Country and Search. It covers reviewed event dates from 2020-01-01 through 2026-07-19 and remains a UK-wide evidence and review queue, not part of the 210-case register. It includes carefully labelled noncriminal community-safety actions and misinformation controls alongside source-stated migration, asylum, refugee, hotel, accommodation and HMO terms. Set ENABLE_GREY_AREA=0 when building to remove the layer and its dropdown item without deleting its separate CSV.

The country is assigned from the documented location, not nationality. “All” includes every location; “UK” includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland but excludes Ireland and international records. Multi-country records appear under “International”. A shared accommodation site does not imply anything about other residents.

Separate research area

Hotel adjacent crime stats

Every available monthly Police.uk snapshot from June 2023 to May 2026, each covering the approximate one-mile area around a hotel coordinate.

Area context only: these are not hotel incident counts, resident-offender counts, crime rates or evidence that accommodation caused a change.

Police.uk geographic coverage

Partial UK coverage
Covered · England and Wales143 hotel areas and 5,148 monthly observations from participating police forces.
Not comparable · Scotland13 hotel areas excluded: this endpoint contains only British Transport Police data there, which would materially understate general recorded crime.
Not covered · Northern Ireland5 hotel areas not queried: PSNI street-level data is not supplied by this Police.uk endpoint.

Coverage period: 2023-06 to 2026-05. “Covered” means data is available from the endpoint; it does not mean every crime is represented or geocoded. Police.uk combines violence and sexual offences in one published category, so they cannot be separated here.

Monthly area snapshots

Hotel trend detail

Coverage: England and Wales participating-force data only. Scotland and Northern Ireland have no comparable graphs in this dataset.

Counts are separate monthly snapshots, not annual totals. A rising line does not establish a sustained increase, a hotel link or resident involvement.

Barracks & military sites

Military sites currently used or being considered for asylum accommodation, plus a recently withdrawn Scottish proposal. Proposal markers do not mean a final decision has been made.

Status caution: Barnham, Bicester Site A and Linton-on-Ouse remain subject to feasibility work, planning and approvals. Cameron Barracks is retained as a grey audit marker because the Home Office confirmed the proposal would not proceed.

In honour and remembrance

Their lives are remembered

Dedicated specifically to people harmed within the United Kingdom by the crimes documented here — those named publicly, those whose identities are protected, survivors, and the families who carry their memory. Incidents during overseas or Channel journeys are not included.

Rhiannon Skye Whyte

Age 27 · Walsall, England

Rhiannon was killed after finishing a late shift at the hotel where she worked in October 2024.

A devoted mother with a wonderful character, she was part of a close and loving family. The court recognised the great courage with which she tried to defend herself.

Bledi “Spiro” Petraj

Age 37 · London, England

Bledi died following a knife attack in Southgate in February 2024.

Deeply mourned by his loving family, he loved his stepchildren as his own. His family’s tribute also carried a heartfelt call to end knife crime.

Hotel and accommodation-linked victims

UK sites with reported victims in the current register

Counts below refer to distinct people explicitly reported as harmed or targeted, not charges or defendant records. Allegations and uncertain totals are labelled.

Bell Hotel, Epping

4 victims

Four people — two hotel residents and two members of staff — were assaulted. A separate sexual-assault charge was discontinued.

Britannia Hotel, Bournemouth

1 victim

One woman was raped and sexually assaulted; the convicted man was reported as staying at this hotel.

Cladhan Hotel, Falkirk

At least 3 victims

Two women were sexually assaulted in Falkirk by a resident of the Cladhan. A former resident was also convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl in Falkirk town centre. These attacks occurred away from the hotel. A separate case concerning alleged exposure at the hotel was dropped, so no additional victim total is claimed.

Highfield House Hotel, Southampton

1 alleged victim

One hotel staff member was the reported victim of an alleged sexual assault. The case was pending at the source date.

Home Office-approved hotel accommodation, near Horsham

1 victim

One woman was attacked and raped on Brighton beach by three men resident in the accommodation. She is counted once across the three linked case records.

Park Inn Hotel, Glasgow

6 injured victims

Six people — including asylum seekers, hotel workers and a police officer — were stabbed and seriously injured at the hotel.

Radisson Blu Station Hotel, Perth

At least 3 victims

Two women were sexually assaulted on trains and another person was the victim of voyeurism; the offender was linked to this hotel. A separate hotel incident involved threatening behaviour, but the source summary does not give a victim count.

Every survivor and unnamed victim

All ages · United Kingdom

Many identities are rightly withheld by law, by courts, or by families. Their absence from a public list never diminishes what they endured.

This UK remembrance uses non-identifying summaries except where a name and personal details were already made public in authoritative sources. Counts are limited to what the working register explicitly supports and never speculate about a protected identity. Allegations and pending proceedings are not presented as convictions. Broad acknowledgements without case summaries appear at the end.
