Immediate deportation likely for illegal immigrant caught with drugs

AN illegal immigrant caught with 7.5kg of cannabis inside an Ilkeston house is likely to be deported immediately.

- 

Nottingham Crown Court heard how the authorities already had a deportation notice in place to send Alban Egra back to Albania when he was found at the address.

That was because the 33-year-old had either returned to, or remained in, the UK without permission, having been released from a previous prison term for being the gardener at a cannabis farm which could have netted his bosses almost half a million pounds.

Jailing Egra for two months, Judge Steven Coupland said: “You were found at a property which had a lot of cannabis in it but the prosecution accepts you were holding that temporarily for someone else.
