'Deportations, deportations and more deportations!' Rupert Lowe FUMES as illegal migrant with 17 prior convictions jailed rather than removed from Britain

Alius Ambulta, 39, was jailed for drug dealing just weeks after being released from prison for a related offence.

The 39-year-old was arrested after police spotted him supplying drugs to passing motorists, despite being subject to immigration bail.

The Lithuanian national, who has used five different dates of birth and five fake names to avoid detection, has managed to accumulate 17 previous convictions whilst in the country illegally.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Lowe expressed his frustration at the situation, highlighting that the person entered the country illegally before going on to commit multiple offences.

"He should be immediately removed from our country, and never allowed back," he said.

In another post on the matter, Lowe wrote: "Why hasn't this man been deported? It's pathetic. We are a soft touch. There is a simple answer for foreign criminals. Deportations, deportations and then even more deportations.

"I want answers from the Home Office. Why was this illegal migrant, with 17 (!) previous convictions, still in our country to offend again in my constituency? Call me racist or whatever else. I honestly don't care. I don't want these criminals in our country. Deport them."

Norwich Crown Court heard that Ambulta had only been free for one month following a previous 15-week sentence for drug-related offences before his latest arrest.

Police observed Ambulta acting suspiciously on Marine Parade on October 3, where he was seen exchanging drug wraps for cash with drivers.

The incident occurred while Ambulta was under post-sentence supervision and immigration control, following his previous 15-week sentence.

His earlier convictions included three counts of possession with intent to supply between 2022 and 2023.

Despite his illegal status in the UK and being subject to immigration bail, Ambulta had managed to continue his criminal activities using multiple aliases.

His pattern of deception included the use of five different birth dates and five false names to evade authorities.

During a search following his arrest, officers discovered bags of cannabis in Ambulta's possession.

Police also found keys to a nearby property, where a further search uncovered 22 grams of cannabis.

£1,000 in cash was also discovered at the property.

The discoveries led to Ambulta being charged with possession with intent to supply, an offence to which he later pleaded guilty.

Oliver Haswell, prosecuting, told the court that Ambulta had committed the latest offence while still under post-sentence supervision and immigration control.

Judge Katherine Moore sentenced Ambulta to another 15 weeks in prison, stating that imprisonment was the only option.

"The fact you have managed to amass a number of convictions is troubling. That you are in the UK subject to immigration bail doesn't seem to be any sort of deterrent," Judge Moore told the defendant.

In mitigation, defence lawyer Andrew Oliver explained that Ambulta was a cannabis user who had fallen into drug dealing following personal tragedy.

Oliver added that his client had been homeless at the time of the offences.

The court heard that Ambulta's immigration status meant he was unable to work legally in the UK.
