A Crown Court judge has reprimanded an Albanian immigrant who turned to crime after arriving illegally in Britain on a dinghy.

Sentencing Fatmir Limani, who burgled a house in Leeds, to 18 months in prison earlier this month, Judge Simon Batiste told him: 'Sadly, the UK has too many of our own criminals. We don't need to bring them from Albania.'

It comes after figures obtained by The Mail on Sunday show that 75 per cent of Albanian nationals who have arrived illegally have committed at least one criminal offense in the UK.

And 30 percent of Britain's class A drug trade is now controlled by Albanian gang bosses.

Albanians, many of whom arrived in Britain illegally in lorries and small boats, are now the largest contingent of foreign prisoners in UK prisons, with 1,582 locked up.

So far this year, 93 Albanians have been jailed, at a cost to taxpayers of £17 million - for serious offenses such as murder, rape, kidnapping and theft, including 14 in the past week.

They include six murderers, a rapist, a kidnapper, five Class A drug dealers and 56 cannabis growers.

Of the 93 prisoners, at least 53 arrived in the UK illegally, either in small boats or in the back of lorries.

Albanians made up the largest proportion of the more than 45,000 people who crossed the Channel illegally last year.

At one stage last summer, they represented 60 per cent of small boat arrivals. Thousands sought asylum, even though Albania is considered 'safe and welcoming' by the Foreign Ministry.

The figures do not include those who were not jailed, or who appeared in magistrates' courts, which would make the total much higher.

Like Judge Batiste's comments to Liman at Leeds Crown Court, other judges across the country have also expressed their concern about illegal immigrants turning to crime after arriving in Britain.

Two weeks ago, Judge Joanne Kidd jailed cannabis grower Aurel Kajo for 20 months at Durham Crown Court. Albanian Kajo had paid £4,000 to be smuggled into Britain.

Judge Kidd told Kajo: 'The message needs to get out that people who enter this country illegally and choose to engage in criminal activity are likely to face jail and then deportation.'

And at Nottingham Crown Court in January, Judge Tanweer Ikram told Albanian Elmas Sitaj, who was jailed for ten months for producing cannabis: “You come here illegally, you take a risk. It can never be right to turn to criminality. This is not a get-rich-quick place. Life is hard and people don't get paid much.'

Last week, Home Secretary Suella Braverman revealed how thousands of criminals who 'hold values ​​that are antithetical to our country' have been sneaking into Britain in small boats.

She said: "We are seeing increased levels of criminality among people who have come by boat, related to drug dealing, exploitation, prostitution. There are real challenges that go beyond the migration issue of people who come here illegally.

"In my conversations with many police chiefs around the country, they are now reporting to me that the drug gangs they are dealing with are people who came in small boats. Many people come here illegally and very quickly become involved in drug dealing, other exploitation, criminality and prostitution.'
