An illegal immigrant who made his way to Oxford in the back of a lorry and worked in a supermarket has been jailed.

Dalvinder Mann, 24, of York Road, in Headington, admitted possession of a false passport and National Insurance card at Oxford Crown Court yesterday.

The court heard Mann was arrested by government immigration officers following checks on staff at Londis, in London Road, Headington, on January 28.

Judge Mary Jane Mowat jailed Mann for five months and recommended deportation to India on release.
