Police were last night accused of burying allegations that a gang of Syrians sexually assaulted two teenage girls in a Newcastle park.
Three young men and a teenage boy, at least one of them a refugee, were arrested last month over claims two 14-year-olds had been attacked in the centre of the city.
But even after the suspects were charged and appeared in court, Northumbria Police – which claims to have made sexual violence a top priority – did not announce the case to the public or press. Even the local MP only heard about it last week.
Last night, it also emerged that the force published more than 100 incidents and public appeals, including those on sexual assaults and indecent exposures, on its website in the same month the alleged attacks took place – but not the case allegedly involving the Syrians.
Details on the alleged attacks emerged on Friday in a report by the BBC, which had been following the progress of the refugee defendant’s family since they arrived in Britain last year under the Government’s high-profile scheme to resettle vulnerable Syrians.
A police source reported the BBC had been informed four weeks previously in early May, when the teenage refugee had been arrested and charged.
The BBC’s Newsnight programme has refused to say when it first heard about the case.
It comes after police in Germany and Sweden faced damaging claims they tried to cover up sex attacks by migrants for fear of stoking public anger against new arrivals.
Last night, Ukip leader Nigel Farage – who has been criticised for warning the migrant crisis could put British women at risk – said: ‘Serious questions need to be asked about both the vetting of those the Government are allowing into the country, and of the authorities, including the BBC, who appear to have been involved in a conspiracy of silence over the case.
‘When did they know what was happening, and why is it only coming out now?’
The alleged attack on May 10 is believed to have taken place in Leazes Park, close to Newcastle’s football stadium.
Three young men and a teenage boy, at least one of them a refugee, were arrested last month over claims two 14-year-olds had been attacked in the centre of the city – but even after the suspects were charged and appeared in court, Northumbria Police did not announce the case to the public or press
Three of the seven people held were told they would face no further action, while the others were charged.
Omar Badreddin, the 18-year-old refugee who appeared on the BBC, was arrested on May 11, and charged with sexual assault on one girl the following day.
Mohammed Alfrouh, 20, was also charged with sexual assault against two girls.
The pair appeared at Newcastle Crown Court on May 18 but again neither the police nor the Crown Prosecution Service made any announcements about the charges or their appearance before judges for bail applications.
Another man, Mohammad Allakkoud, 18, and a 17-year-old who cannot be named, were charged with sexual assault on May 19, again with no publicity.
The three men appeared for a second time in court on Friday, where they pleaded not guilty and were released on bail ahead of their trial in September.
Mr Badreddin is one of 1,602 Syrians who have arrived in the UK under the resettlement programme.
The scheme was designed to bring vulnerable Syrian refugees directly from refugee camps in the Middle East to the UK.
Those arriving have been screened and vetted by the UN.
The scheme will see 20,000 refugees come to Britain over the next four years.
The question remains, is the establishment colluding to deliberately withhold information from the public which they deem detrimental to the government’s refugee agenda?

I despair. Can the Brit Dems really be unaware that “Independence Day” is now less than two weeks away? I ask because the current one article per week “activity” can hardly be construed as campaigning for Brexit. Quite apart from myself I am sure there are country vicars who have used their parish websites to campaign more vigorously for Brexit than this site. Not impressed.
Yes the establishment and their media puppets ”withold information” …they also distort the the actual events in order to mislead the public and recast the descriptions of violent crimes against Whites in order to remove the causative factor : multiculturalism.
The situation is no better down South. I still live in the area I grew up in, Islington…there have been recent murders here of a Finnish lecturer in a neighbouring street, Hilldrop Crescent, and a white teenage boy who was stabbed while riding his bike just few minutes away on Caledonian road. Both tragic victims of third world immigration.
There have been many more before them. The local Islington and Camden newspapers are linked up and are run by an assortment of Trotskyite far Left cranks…Steeped in politically correct censorship.
The biggest London media outlet is the Evening Standard, once a trustworthy paper but now owned by a Russian billionaire who uses it to promote his ”liberal values”…and ”diversity” . Most of the ethnic crime reports make it on to their site but do not usually appear in the newspaper.
( Party Official ) Whilst deploring the horrible murder of Joe Cox , the above article SHOWS JUST HOW WRONG SHE WAS by devoting her life to encouraging people like this to come to her lovely constituency in Yorkshire.Although done in a charming and pleasant manner she undermined the way of life of her constituents , particularly the working class ones who were put last in her priorities !
( Party Official ) Jim , we share your frustration . I know you are a long standing Nationalist and as such invite you to submit supporting comments or indeed articles. Many of us are putting out Brexit and B.D.P. leaflets and would love to hear how your leafletting is going !
