| Four Brits Busted for Selling UK Sports Tickets |

Police are saying the four made hundreds of thousands of pounds in buying non-transferable tickets through online ballots, fraudulent memberships and legitimate ticketing websites for top events such as Wimbledon and Premier League matches and then reselling them online for double the price. Two men and two women, aged between 28 and 36, were arrested. Detective Inspector Paul Hoare told the Press Association: "We are working to bring justice to those committing these offences. Purchasing tickets from unauthorised sources risks refused entry and potentially a very expensive and disappointing day out for unsuspecting members of the public."
