Berlin: Migrants in Germany have committed or tried to commit some 69,000 crimes in the first quarter of 2016, according to a police report that could raise further unease about immigration in Europe.

There was a record influx of more than 1 million migrants into Germany last year and concerns are now widespread about how Europe's largest economy will manage to integrate them and ensure security.

The report from the BKA federal police showed that migrants from northern Africa, Georgia and Serbia were disproportionately represented among the suspects.
