Police's smash and grab raid on Leeds TV cheats



Police smashed their way through a brick wall to get at the evidence in an operation against TV subscription cheats.
Two people were arrested by police and staff from the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) on Thursday after they swooped on an electrical store on Harehills Road, Harehills, Leeds.

They also raided a private home on St Wilfrid's Drive, Gipton.

During the raid on the shop, police removed a door to find it had been bricked up, so they hammered their way through the blockwork.

Police seized ?1,500 in cash as well as six laptop computers, a server, two hard drives and a number of computer modems and satellite boxes.
A man and a woman, both 35, were arrested on suspicion of fraud and copyright offences.

Police were probing the practice of card sharing, where a person with a valid satellite TV subscription uses internet technology to allow others to watch the service illegally.

Satellite TV providers estimate the cost of each illegal viewer is between ?20 and ?60 a month.

Which says a lot for when James May was stopped by the police when driving legally.

When he was stopped by the Police he said something along the lines like....

Oh Great, thanks for getting in touch, you found my TV that got stolen???

yes, old news, they were asking for trouble. if you make your self obvious, like they did, your ~~~~ed, they were just being greedy, and because they were so open, its probably cost punters who took up their service some hard earned cash.
