This information is incorrect and the statistics given are not from Dorset Police.
Between 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2026 there were eight sexual offence reports where the offender was reported to be from asylum accommodation hotels in Bournemouth.
All reports are investigated. Across the same period there were a total of 808 sexual offences reported within the area of Bournemouth. This equates to approximately one percent of the total. ^KW
