Prisoner jumps into £250,000 Lamborghini after release

Criminals across the country have been picked up from prison in supercars as more than 1,000 offenders were released early as part of the government’s policy to free up space in jails.

A Rolls-Royce, a Bentley and a Mercedes G-wagon were among the vehicles spotted collecting newly freed inmates in Kent and a Lamborghini was photographed outside a jail in London.

About 1,100 criminals serving fixed-term sentences have been released after serving 40 per cent of their jail term. This is the second tranche of early releases — the first was last month. Prisoners would normally be released on licence after serving 50 per cent of their sentence.

Sheik Yaqub Al Sabah, 49, who identified himself as a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, praised the early release scheme before jumping into a £250,000 black Lamborghini Urus and driving off.

I think what he said at the end was more concerning. As a respected newspaper should you not pick up on that? Rather than the car?

[leonpalmer]

Hmmm a bit weird the press is there for a random persons release who just so happens to have a lambo waiting for him 🤔

[rollafatonedude]

Out of all the comments not one pick up about what he says about it being lawless inside and only those with money survive

Nobody commented about grandad that was met by grandchildren...

I bet he didn't give a damn what car he was met with...

It's sad that real life emotions are missed and attention is gone to metal car....

He's not a prisoner anymore if he has been released.

Convicted War Criminal Tony Blair is living it large, hence Starmer has no problem letting people out early.

Freeing prisoners to put people in their place, these are people that care for our country, let's hope they don't touch Tommy, they will have a big problem.

[ademkennan]

Who cares whether they are picked up in a lambo or a corsa?
