Illegal immigrant stopped at Birmingham Airport after hiding passport in his pants
AN illegal immigrant attempted to enter Britain while hiding his real passport in his underpants, border officers said today.
The Albanian man, 35, attempted to use a fake passport and a visa which belonged to a woman in his home country.
A UK Border Agency spokesman said: “There are a range of background checks we carry out on people coming to the UK, and we examine travel documents for signs that they might be forged or stolen. We are determined to stop would-be immigration offenders.
“There are proper channels for people who want to apply to work in the UK legally - those who don’t play by the rules are sent home.”
He was stopped after arriving at Birmingham Airport on a flight from Frankfurt on April 27.
