French police reports seen by Express.co.uk reveal how petty criminals from the infamous Jungle migrant camp threatened to PUNCH a schoolgirl who refused to hand over her valuables during a brazen daylight robbery attempt. Astonishingly when the violent robbers were later apprehended by the girl’s furious father, who chased them down and performed a citizen’s arrest in the street, they decided to claim POLITICAL ASYLUM in a shameless bid to avoid the long arm of the law. The shocking police reports raise serious concerns about the numbers of hardened criminals waiting to smuggle themselves past overwhelmed border controls and into Britain.

Concerned locals and truckers have previously said they are frightened by the growing number of migrants roaming the streets of the lawless port town demanding food and money, usually in English. But now official French police reports reveal how some callous Jungle residents are going even further and resorting to a life of mugging and crime. The reports, posted on a local campaign Facebook page, are witness statements given by a 14-year-old schoolgirl and her father after the migrants tried to rob her on her way home from school.

In her statement the terrified teenager reveals how she was approached by two male migrants on Monday during her usual one kilometre walk home from school. She reveals how she left Jean Macé college in the town centre at around 5.30pm and was chatting to a friend on her phone when the men - one wearing a “dirty” baseball cap - came up to her and demanded money in English. The girl told detectives she felt uneasy about the pair, who had been lurking on a park bench, so she finished her call and put her phone in her pocket before telling them she did not have any cash on her.

She said: “They began to follow me and again demanded ‘money, money’ to which I again said that I didn’t have any and shouted ‘go away’. I began walking more quickly so that I could get home. “But they carried on following me, and a few metres further on one of the two, a migrant man who was badly shaved and wearing a baseball cap, wearing a grey or purple baseball cap, grabbed me by my shoulders and shook me forcefully and demanded ‘phone tel, money money’. “I said ‘let me go, go away’ and at that moment he lowered his hands to search me and repeated ‘phone tel’. “I again shouted ‘get off’ and at that moment he let go of one of my shoulders and he threatened to punch me, in fact he brandished his fist at me. “I yelled ‘get off me’ yet again and I managed to get away and run all the way home.”

She added: “I showed my father where they could be found, because they had arrived at the red light before the bridge which leads toward the Jungle. “They were on a bicycle, but both of them on the same bicycle and they had a carrier bag from Lidl or Aldi.” A second statement given on the same day by the girl’s father reveals how he chased down the pair and performed a citizen’s arrest on them - at which point they immediately demanded political asylum. After finding the men where his daughter said they would be, the brave dad managed to wrestle them to the floor and call the police.

He said: “They knew very well what they had done because they said ‘excuse me, excuse me’ several times, and then began demanding political asylum. “It is unacceptable not to be able to go to school without being harassed.” The two witness statements were posted on the Facebook page of the Angry Calaisiens campaign group, which aims to highlight how the town has changed beyond all recognition following the migrant influx. The group's organisers say they were passed directly to them by the father of the girl.
