An Albanian convicted burglar who cannot be deported has taunted the Home Office by filming himself driving around London in a Rolls-Royce.
Dorian Puka, 28, who has been jailed and deported twice for burglaries in the United Kingdom, posted a video of his journey around London's suburbs in a £300,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Openly using his TikTok account, the bearded Albanian appears to be filming himself while driving before parking the Rolls-Royce on double yellow lines and taking pictures of it from the outside.
It comes a month after he posted Happy New Year messages from a London nightclub where he was celebrating while smoking a shisha pipe alongside a belly dancer.

The Home Office is powerless to deport him because he has claimed asylum and officials cannot remove him until his case has been fully considered – a process that could take months, if not years, given the backlog of immigration tribunal appeals.
Puka also taunted Nigel Farage last year by posting a picture of himself at a dinner table eating and drinking with a Photoshopped image of the Reform party leader giving the thumbs up.
Mr Farage described him as a 'proper wrong 'un' who was 'walking all over' the UK authorities.
He was originally jailed for nine months in 2016 and then deported the year after for attempting to break into a property when the owner spotted him on a webcam while on holiday in France.
Yet within a year, he had managed to evade border controls and return to the UK, where he carried out a string of burglaries in suburban London.
Puka was eventually caught wearing an expensive watch he had stolen when he was spotted by plain-clothes officers patrolling Surbiton in south-west London. He was jailed for three and a half years and then deported in March 2020.
After returning to his native Albania for several months, he travelled through Germany, Belgium and Netherlands before beating border checks to enter Britain again in December 2020, according to his Instagram account.
It is understood he has lodged an asylum application and has been on immigration bail and subject to an electronic tag since last year awaiting an immigration tribunal to decide on his claim.
As well as the Rolls-Royce video, he has also posted footage of himself driving a £300,000 Ferrari and his time on holiday at the Carbis Bay Hotel, near St Ives, which included walking on the beach with an electronic tag on his leg.
His sources of funding remain unknown, but Albanian reports suggest he has been staying in a £250,000 two-bed terraced flat in Hounslow, west London.
