Deported Twice, Rolex-Wearing Albanian Burglar Sneaks Back to Britain and Flaunts a £185,000 Lamborghini
An Albanian burglar living in the UK despite two deportations has been flaunting his wealth by posing with a £185,000 Lamborghini and a string of luxury watches. Dorian Puka, 29, who has been jailed and expelled from the country after a string of robberies in London, managed to worm his way back to Britain at the end of 2020. The Home Office faces a painful delay: he cannot be evicted a third time until his latest asylum application is decided, and each case costs taxpayers about £12,000 on average. Since his return, Puka has posted several videos on social media boasting about his lavish lifestyle as he waits for his case to be processed. In his latest TikTok posts, the Albanian national filmed himself driving a 2022 Lamborghini Urus V8, valued at around £184,950, with a £45,000 Patek Philippe Aquanaut on his wrist. Another clip shows him behind the wheel of a Mercedes while wearing a £24,000 Rolex Daytona. Other watches shown include a Rolex Day-Date, worth up to £53,000, and a £17,000 Rolex GMT-Master II. Puka has also previously shown off other luxury cars including a £75,000 Porsche Cayenne, a £130,000 Mercedes G-Wagon, £155,000 Bentley Bentayga, a £55,000 BMW X5, a £46,000 Mercedes AMG, and a £35,000 Jaguar XF. The Home Office has warned that foreign criminals should be 'in no doubt that the law will be enforced' while he remains in the UK.

Back in Britain after deportations, he returns at the end of 2020 as asylum backlog swallows up time and money
Puka was first jailed in 2016 for nine months and then deported the following year for attempting to break into a home in Twickenham when the owner caught him on a webcam whilst on holiday in France. Within a year Puka managed to dodge border control and wormed his way back into Britain where he continued to raid and rob homes in Greater London. He was eventually apprehended, wearing an expensive stolen watch, by a plain clothes officer in Surbiton, south-west London. Puka was jailed for three-and-a-half years but his offending did not stop once behind bars as he gained notoriety posting photos on a smuggled phone with prisoners associated with organised crime groups. He was deported in March 2020, but was back by the following January. Social media posts showed he had travelled via Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Despite this, the Home Office said he cannot be deported until his asylum claim has been fully considered. “This process could take months or even years due to the huge and ever-growing backlog of immigration tribunal appeals.”
On TikTok he flaunts wealth with a £184,950 Lamborghini Urus and watches worth tens of thousands
Last October, Puka uploaded a picture of himself raising a toast and tucking into a meal next to a doctored photo of Nigel Farage. At the start of the year, he posted a video of himself welcoming in 2025 while smoking a shisha pipe in front of a belly dancer. In October he posted another video driving a £300,000 red Ferrari around the streets of the capital. In the same month, Puka also trolled Nigel Farage after posting a picture of himself raising a toast and tucking into a meal next to a doctored photo of the Reform UK leader. Other social media posts showed him enjoying evenings at local shisha bars, treating relatives to high-end meals, and unboxing a brand-new Patek Philippe watch.
Criminal history and deportations chronology
Puka was first jailed in 2016 for nine months and then deported the following year for attempting to break into a home in Twickenham when the owner caught him on a webcam while on holiday in France. However, within a year he dodged border control again and wormed his way back into Britain, where he continued to raid and rob homes across Greater London. He was eventually apprehended, wearing an expensive stolen watch, by a plain-clothes officer in Surbiton, south-west London. Puka was jailed for three-and-a-half years, but his offending did not stop behind bars as he gained notoriety posting photos on a smuggled phone with prisoners associated with organised crime groups. He was deported in March 2020, but was back by the following January; social media posts showed he had travelled via Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Despite this, the Home Office has said he cannot be deported until his asylum claim has been fully considered, a process that could take months or even years due to the huge backlog of immigration tribunal appeals.
Home Office response and public taunts
Foreign nationals who commit crimes should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced. Mr Puka has been deported by the UK before. It is UK law that we cannot deport individuals where there are claims or representations still awaiting decision. We have already begun delivering a major surge in immigration enforcement and returns activity to remove people with no right to be in the UK, with 3,000 returned since the new government came into power. At the start of the year, he posted a video of himself welcoming in 2025 while smoking a shisha pipe in front of a belly dancer. Mr Farage labelled him 'a proper wrong'un' and said we are 'literally being walked all over' by the convicted criminal.
