Foreign nationals account for four in ten arrests on Britain’s railways
New research by the Centre for Migration Control reveals that foreign nationals account for a disproportionate amount of suspected crime on Britain’s rail network.
This research was first reported by GB News: https://www.gbnews.com/news/migrants-crisis-foreign-nationals-responsible-80-per-cent-train-theft-arrests
Of the 9,771 arrests carried out by BTP officers in the year 2024/2025, 3,688 (37.7%) of these were foreign nationals.
This includes 36.6% of the 614 sexual offence arrests, 35.7% of the arrests for violence, 39.6% of arrests for drug offences, and, staggeringly, 79.3% of arrests for theft of passenger property.
Using data from the ONS’ Labour Force Survey, we can see that the non-UK national share of the population aged between 16 and 44 is 17%. This is clearly concerning in and of itself. It should also be noted that the LFS often understates the size of the foreign national population due to methodological problems.
But even with this caveat, it still means that we are seeing a huge overrepresentation of foreign nationals in these arrest statistics.
The country is seeing an “epidemic of violence” on the railways, as the number of crimes has increased in the last year. Whilst violent crime has allegedly decreased across the country, it has surged by 7% on mainline rail. There has been an increase of more than 200% in reported crime on Britain’s railways since 2015.
The fact that foreign nationals accounted for nearly 80% of theft arrests on trains is indicative of how mass migration has led to an increase in ‘low-level’ crime which might be dismissed by certain columnists and members of the commentariat, but have a direct impact on the public’s quality of life.
Arrests do not necessarily equate to guilt, and a huge number of crimes on Britain’s railways go unsolved or are simply not investigated at all. But these figures provide the best indication of what is driving this surge.
The British Transport Police cover Britain’s railways, as well as the transport networks of major conurbations including the London Underground, the Glasgow Metro, and the Midland tram system.



When we bring in foreign nationals from countries where armed security, armed police and armed military everywhere is very much the norm in those countries and when we bring them into countries where this is not the case, such as Europe, the U.K. or Ireland, the people in the host countries are at risk of being attacked, because these people see no armed deterrent when they start attacking people in the host nation, because they don’t respect our laws and customs and have no intention whatsoever of integrating into our culture, which they regard as inferior to theirs - the closest that we saw to actual enforcement in any meaningful way happening was when mask mandates and other covid restrictions were being enforced, mainly against white people in 2020 and 2021 - the question must therefore be asked - why are there no routinely armed police (not useless PCSO’s) nor armed milltary in our city centres and everywhere else, manning checkpoints, checking ID’s, random stop and searches, at stations and travelling on board all forms of public transport, where also, the outdated and irrelevant concepts of policing by consent and community policing need to be abolished - since 2022, people in general have become far more aggressive in normal everyday interactions, including these migrants and frankly, I would feel far safer if everywhere was crawling with armed police and armed milltary everywhere
This is only official foriegn nationals. It does not account for the sort of deeply foriegn person referred to by the media as a “Bradford man” for example.
