Man concealed passport in pants

A man was stopped at Birmingham Airport for attempting to use a woman's passport and visa to enter the UK while hiding his passport in his underpants.

The 35-year-old Albanian man landed in Birmingham from Frankfurt using the woman's papers, and was deported within 24 hours, immigration officers said.

The UK Border Agency said it carried out checks on people it suspected of entering the UK illegally.

A spokesman added: "Those who don't play by the rules are sent home."

The man was stopped as he arrived on the flight on 27 April.
