During a Talk TV interview, Councillor Cameron Adams discussed claims linking migrants to crime in Bournemouth, specifically that 40% of pending sex crime prosecutions involved migrants. These claims were debunked by Dorset Police, stating that only 1% of sexual offences were linked to migrants in asylum accommodations. Adams acknowledged he didn’t use the specific statistic mentioned but maintained that 148 offences were committed by illegal migrants residing in local hotels. Dorset’s Police and Crime Commissioner criticized the spread of misinformation, urging respect for factual accuracy and transparency, while community leaders called for accountability and an apology from Adams.
