We are very worried about the rise in violence by asylum seekers, the police official added. The comments come following the release of figures which reveal a 95.5 per cent spike in the number of physical attacks carried out by asylum seekers and migrants.

Around 60 per cent of the assaults take place in asylum accommodation but the other 40 per cent are carried out among the general public.

This group of migrants are also heavily represented among people caught for theft and drug offences, according to this years statistics. But they can now be found as suspects of crimes in almost every field, according to the police official.

Of a total of 251,000 criminal suspects across the state in 2016, 107,417 were foreign, with 25,379 of these being asylum seekers and refugees. Syria was the most frequently seen country of origin in the latter category, followed by Gambia, and then Afghanistan.

In Bavaria, the number of crimes committed by immigrants rose 57.8 per cent from the previous year, a development which the states Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann described as worrying.

The increase in crime in Bavaria in 2016 is mainly due to foreign suspects, especially immigrants, the minister said. There had been a 3.3 per cent overall rise in the number of crimes statewide (the figure adjusted to remove offences like illegal immigration).

The number of homicides in Bavaria increased by 15 per cent in 2016, while violent crimes carried out by asylum seekers rose by 93 per cent to 3,495 cases.

Of thefts which occurred across the German state, 42.8 per cent of suspects were of foreign origin an almost 1 per cent rise from the previous year.

Earlier this year, the Berlin Senate launched a formal inquiry to find out why migrants are overrepresented in the citys police crime reports compared to Germans.

According to Germanys Federal Police, the influx of newcomers from the third world since Europes migrant crisis directly led to an increase in crime within their jurisdiction.

But women are usually found to be more at risk of rape and other forms of sexual assault.

Refugee camps worldwide are plagued by violence, that is a fact

Richard Matis - GSF vice president

The charity, which now treats female migrants stuck in the sprawling Grande-Synthe tent camp in neighbouring Dunkirk, added the women were raped and beaten on a daily basis, and had become immune to sexual violence and abuse.

Mr Matis added: Some women were repeatedly raped during the perilous journey to Europe.

Others are trapped in abusive marriages. And some women are pimped out by their husbands and forced into so-called survival sex with people smugglers so that their families can continue travelling across Europe.

The charity added that tearing down refugee camps was not the solution to the migrant crisis, and called on the government to open more emergency shelters.

Mr Matis said: Every time a makeshift camp is evacuated and dismantled, thousands of female migrants are brutally uprooted and exposed to danger and insecurity. The chaos that ensues increases their vulnerability to sexual assault.

Disguised in camouflage and balaclavas, and equipped with long knives, bayonets and hatchets, the paramilitary troops hunt down refugees and migrant in Strandzha Massif, a forested mountain range, Bulgaria, on the Turkish border.

Patches on their uniforms a coat of arms displaying a snarling wolfs head framed by Cyrillic text declare they are members of the Bulgarian National Movement Shipka, abbreviated as BNO Shipka.

The group are led by Vladimir Rusev, a former colonel who claims he fought in Chechnya as a volunteer alongside Russians.

Speaking to NBC News, the 58-year-old claims BNO Shipka have as many as 50,000 members in their ranks, however, this figure is unverifiable.

We are protecting the united borders of southern Europe and the European Union

He added: At the moment, we are the only defence Europe has.

We are the only ones doing something. Were not just protecting Bulgaria, we are protecting the united borders of southern Europe and the European Union.

Nikolai Ivanov, one of the groups founding members, said: Im not nationalistic or anything like that. Im just a patriot.

Many of these immigrants are not just some guys who are trying to run away from war. They are from age 17 to 35, with good physiques and training.

Its not a problem that they are Muslims. The problem is its a different civilisation. They dont think like us, they have a totally different view about life, about everything.

The 34-year-old proclaims his beliefs the European migrant crisis was part of a plan to allow ISIS militants to slip into the Continent and allow them to attack.

The BNO Shipka member adds the crisis also allows Turkish troops to be deployed in Bulgaria, under the Nato banner, effectively reclaiming a portion of the lost Ottoman Empire.

The group, despite facing stiff opposition from human rights groups, claim they act within the law, and have unofficial support from Bulgarias official border patrols.

Krassimir Kanev, a founder of human rights group Bulgarian Helsinki Committee, describes BNO Shipka as xenophobic nationalists who are violent, racist extremists.

There are ongoing criminal proceedings against a number of these groups, he said, claiming Bulgarian vigilantes have previously detained migrants, sometimes beating and humiliating them before forcing them back across the border.

Bulgarias caretaker government are set to make a U-turn on laws allowing migrants with the right to asylum and international protections to conclude agreements on integration after public protests.

A government spokesman said they are preparing changes to the regulations and conditions for there integration of migrants and refugees.

The forthcoming proposed changes to the legislation would not be contrary to European regulations and other rules to which Bulgaria is a party to, he added.

Almost 20,000 have already made it by sea to mainland Europe in the first 67 days of 2017, it emerged yesterday.

The looming crisis was laid bare in figures released by the International Organisation for Migration which revealed that 19,567 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea this year, up to March 8, a rate of almost 300 a day.

Tory MP David Davies said: The European nations are aiding and abetting this chaotic exodus by sending out rescue boats to pick up thousands of migrants trying to enter the Continent illegally from North Africa.

They should be taking them straight back to ports and safe refugee camps so they are not incentivised to risk their lives trying.

I hope this worrying development doesnt herald the return to the chaotic events of last year.

The unprecedented move to close the service stations is the first indicator that a new wave of migration is expected after the demolition of the notorious Jungle camp last year.

Operator Sanef has closed four of the six rest areas which have become a magnet for trafficking gangs.

One, at St-Hilaire-Cotte on the A26, roughly 30 miles from Calais, is a well-known trafficking hotspot.

It is a short walk from a muddy migrant camp in woods close to the village of Norrent-Fontes where a Daily Express reporting team was attacked last year.

Others out of action are at Grande-Synthe, close to an official migrant camp on the outskirts of Dunkirk, Steenvoorde on the A25, La Grande Bucaille and Nortkerque on the A26 and Berck on the A16, around 55 miles south of Calais.

For the past two summers British drivers have faced a wave of violence and intimidation on the approach to the Calais ferry terminal, with migrants using burning blockades in an effort to slow down vehicles returning to the UK so they can break in.

Road Haulage Association chief executive Richard Burnett said: We always advise our international drivers not to stop within 100 miles of Calais unless they absolutely have to.

"To even consider yet another summer of misery is quite simply out of the question.

If Sanef remains resolute not to reopen the rest areas we will be demanding more security is deployed on the approach roads and that includes the French military.

French officials estimate migrants are returning to the northern coast at a rate of 100 a week. There are now thought to be at least six secret refugee camps in the Nord-Pas-deCalais region.

Home Office figures revealed by the Daily Express after a freedom of information request showed 24,800 attempts to enter the UK illegally were stopped at the British border on the Continent during the first six months of last year.

In 2015 the number reached a record 84,088.

Charlie Elphicke, Tory MP for Dover, said: We must be vigilant and take action now before any new Jungle camp forms at Calais.

We cant risk another summer of chaos, thats why we need to act before the first tent is pitched.

The Home Office said: We work closely with the French authorities on the security of the UK-France border but the operation of the French motorway network is a matter for them.
