Albanian criminals and migrants are boasting how to remove “British Rolex” ankle tags as Suella Braverman signalled a potential expansion of the electronic devices’ use.

The Albanians have posted TikTok videos showing how to cut off their tags, dubbed “British Rolexes”, using nothing more than kitchen scissors. They boast that it enables them to abscond despite the threat of jail or other sanctions for breaching their immigration bail.

Hundreds of Albanians have been tagged as part of their immigration bail after arriving illegally in the UK on small boats across the Channel, or as a precursor to their deportation after being released from prison.
