Lack of Benefits Causes Crime

(Worcester, England) An homeless illegal alien from Sierra Leone was arrested for stealing copper piping from a location under renovation.

Twenty-five-year-old Amadou Bah was convicted of the theft and sentenced to 10 weeks in prison.

Bah was arrested and in interview said he had broken into the house to look for anything he could sell to pay for food.

He pleaded guilty to burglary and breaching a conditional discharge when he appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court. Rob Macrory, defending, told magistrates Bah was unable to gain employment and was ineligible for state benefits.

According to defense counsel McCrory, “He is an example of what happens if you do not give benefits to illegal immigrants."
