Murder, serial burglars, border invasions, fraud, sex attacks, fake passports and drug farms – this is the shocking record of one week’s foreign crime in Britain.

Case One: 2 July 2009 – Illegal invader deported for sex attacks returned to UK with false passport to continue terrorising women. An illegal invader deported for a string of sex attacks was jailed for 15 months after he returned using a fake passport to target more women.

Daniel Samson, 44, initially came to Britain 10 years ago on a family visa obtained in Germany. He was first imprisoned for 15 months in 2002 for groping a total of 18 women in the street.

After his release he was driven to Heathrow and put on a plane to Lagos, Nigeria, London’s Southwark Crown Court heard. But he later slipped back into Britain to commit a further eight sex offences against bus passengers, including fondling a 17-year-old schoolgirl, between last September and January this year, Nick Wells, prosecuting said.

He said the defendant used his fake passport to get a job as a London Underground cleaner and then “followed the same pattern” in his latest crime spree.

Officers tracked down his Oyster card number, linked it to the Barclays Bank card used to top it up, and traced him to an address in Peckham, South East London.

Mr Wells said: “Officers were greeted by a female who said only she and a child were there. But they then heard someone else in the house and found the defendant trying to leave through a window at the back.”

The barrister said London Underground was contacted and his work locker searched. He added: “Numerous passports were found in different names but all with his photograph in them.”

He was originally charged under one of his aliases, but after a fingerprint check linked him to the earlier offences he was properly identified.

Case Two: 6 July 2009 – Jail for Romanian gypsy who did three burglaries in three days. Romanian Gypsy Ovidiu Iacob (24) has been jailed for 18 months after admitting a string of burglaries, shoplifting and carrying a knife.

Iacob, living in Plymouth, took part in three burglaries in the Yelverton area within the space of three days. The court heard that Iacob burgled the Chez Vous computer company and stole £5,000 worth of laptops, which have not been recovered.

He also burgled the Forest Inn in Hexworthy, taking a phone and about £200 in cash, and entered a nearby house, where he drank a bottle of gin and stole a pair of binoculars. Iacob also admitted stealing £46 of cheese from a Co-op store on Southside Street, and a number of joints of beef from Marks and Spencer in Plymouth.

Case Three: 8 July 2009 – Welsh ports targeted by illegal immigrants.

Ports in Wales are increasingly targeted by illegal immigrants who fly to Ireland and then try to enter the UK on ferries, said the UK Border Agency’s director for Wales, John Whyte.

Mr Whyte said Ireland was being used as a “back door” to Britain, with immigrants travelling to Holyhead, Fishguard and Pembroke Dock.

“We’re finding attempts to enter the UK illegally on virtually every crossing,” Mr Whyte told MPs on the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. “Our impression is that this has grown over the past few years.”

Ireland and the UK have an agreement allowing free travel between the two countries with minimal documentation, a deal known as the Common Travel Area (CTA).

Travellers who have successfully negotiated, or evaded, immigration controls in the Republic of Ireland can therefore cross to the UK with relatively little difficulty.

Mr Whyte said: “I think they are coming from the major [Irish] airports. We ask why they [Irish authorities] are letting them in.”

Case Four: 8 July 2009 – Cannabis Farm in Lincoln run by illegal Vietnamese invader. An illegal invader from Vietnam has appeared at a Lincoln court after police found more than 500 cannabis plants in his house. Lincoln Magistrates’ Court heard that Duc Phan (19) was arrested after officers raided the three-bedroom property in Bettesworth Road in Hemswell Cliff, near Gainsborough, on Monday night.

Phan, who was smuggled into the country three years ago, was responsible for looking after the 549 cannabis plants at the property – which are worth around £50,000.

The court heard that Mr Phan had also bypassed the electricity meter at the house and was not paying for the energy used to power the lights used in the cultivation process.

He pleaded guilty to abstracting electricity under the Theft Act and cultivating cannabis under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Case Five: 9 July 2009 – Failed asylum seeker Mossab Belhocine, guilty of murder. Failed asylum seeker Mossab Belhocine (19) has been found guilty of kicking sales assistant 28-year-old David Cooper to death.

The Algerian national kicked his victim so hard an imprint of his trainer was left on Mr Cooper’s face.

The killer says he punched and kicked the sales assistant to stop him from raping him, but the court was told the Algerian had been planning a robbery. Belhocine, from Walthamstow, ransacked the flat for valuables while Mr Cooper lay dying on the floor. He stole a silver bracelet, a DVD player, a computer console, a television, a laptop and an Oyster card before stuffing the items in two bags and leaving the flat.

Police traced the killer on Mr Cooper’s Oyster card and arrested him shortly afterwards.

The failed asylum seeker came to the UK on a visitor’s visa in 2007.

The court heard he was part of a network of Algerian pickpockets operating in the Finsbury Park area.

Case Six: 9 July 2009 – Family of refugees guilty of £7m DVD scam. A family of Paksitani ‘refugees’ have been found guilty of a pirate DVD scam that raked in £7 million in three years. Pakistan-born Khalid Sheikh, 53, and sons Rafi, 26, and Sami, 28, of Chingford, Essex, sold thousands of DVDs of Hollywood blockbusters – often before they were in cinemas here.

* It would have been better if these foreign criminals were not even allowed into Britain in the first place, as Mr Nick Griffin MEP suggested.
