🚨 EXPOSED: Did the Met Police just wipe 43,000 crimes from London’s figures?
I’ve been digging through the latest crime data and found something extraordinary.
📅 On 2nd May, the Met’s published Excel data showed 332,226 crimes recorded in London during the first 4 months of 2026.
📅 Then on 5th May, after a “data refresh”, the official total suddenly dropped to 288,702.
That means 43,524 crimes apparently vanished from the figures in the space of three days.
I still have the original 2nd May Excel file.
And the changes make no sense.
There’s no obvious duplication or double counting that would explain a swing this large.
Some categories changed dramatically.
For example, the updated figures suddenly show around 500 fewer rapes than the original data published just days earlier.
I’ll be publishing the full original dataset on my Substack in the coming days.
