The influx of migrant workers into England and Wales from eastern Europe has not led to the crime wave that some have suggested, a police report says.
Since 2004, about 800,000 people have registered for work in Britain from many eastern European countries.
The report by two chief constables has been sent to the home secretary ahead of a meeting with senior officers.
It says the influx of migrants has created problems in some areas but overall crime levels have not risen.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) canvassed the views of detectives and community officers across the UK.
It found no evidence that crime was more prevalent among East Europeans than other groups.
It said the sheer number of migrants in some areas had caused tensions and policing pressures - but the problems were minimal.

Just to put the other point of view as immigrants are often portrayed as the cause of huge crime waves by some people .
