Afghan Muslim Refugee Headed Gang Responsible for 50% of Phones Stolen in London

Refugees welcome. Thieves welcome.

Every time there’s talk about limiting mass migration or deporting illegals from one hellhole or another, there’s always protests that we need them so badly because they work in meatpacking plants, crash our trucks and perform various forms of taxpayer subsidized low end labor.

Well here’s what else they do.

Half the phones stolen in London were handled by an Afghan crime gang who may have shipped as many as 40,000 out of the country, a court heard. Afghans Amir Khadikhel, 35, and Ismat Miakhel, 33, along with Indian Mansoor Mohammed, 30, are facing years in jail after they admitted receiving huge numbers of handsets. They were sent to the Middle East and China where some would fetch as much as £3,700 each.

Of course there’s a Mohammed. And of course he’s misidentified as ‘Indian’. And they were funding thieves targeting people.

The gang, who paid runners £300 per phone, are thought to have smuggled nearly 40,000 stolen devices to China where they can be sold for £4,000.

Detectives say the gang focused on high-end devices, with thieves paid up to £300 per phone. Some were later sold abroad for as much as £4,000 each.

So far, police have made 14 arrests, seized over 10,000 stolen iPhones, and recovered more than £250,000 in cash. Over 1,000 victims have been reunited with their phones.

According to the Times, Amir was a ‘refugee’.

Amir Khadikhel arranged for £181 million of handsets to be sent to China and Dubai in less than a year before he was identified after a victim traced his stolen device to a courier company.

The Afghan asylum seeker was at the top of a network of hundreds of pickpockets operating across the country, but mainly in London, who were paid up to £750 for the newest iPhone models.

And Mohammed was in the UK on a ‘skilled migrant working visa’. These are the skilled migrants that the Starmer regime claims the UK badly needs.

Some of the organised pickpocketing gangs providing handsets to Khadikhel’s operation are also operating in Paris and Berlin.

Islamic mass migration to Europe has really done wonders.
