I hope they carry this on at all games/ websites edit: oops : Old/Old --------- A man has been arrested after a police probe into ticket touting and money laundering at Premier League clubs. A fan scans a ticket before a match. The 32-year-old from Blackburn was arrested at Manchester United's ground during their game against Lyon. He was arrested on suspicion of fraud, ticket touting and money laundering. Police believe the scale of the fraud may run into hundreds of thousands of pounds and that tickets from a number of Premier League clubs were traded at inflated prices through a website. Two houses in Blackburn were also searched in connection with the investigation, led by the Metropolitan Police. The suspected ticket tout, who was taken to Blackburn police station, was arrested by officers from Lancashire Police acting on behalf of the Metropolitan Police. Advertisement Detective Sergeant Will Hodgson, of the Met Police public order crime team unit, said: "Ticket touting is not only illegal but it can lead to an increase in violence at football games, primarily through segregation breakdown. "Genuine fans should not buy tickets from touts as they are potentially fuelling violence and lucrative criminal activity. "People who buy from touts run the risk of finding themselves amongst opposing supporters, being ejected from grounds or not receiving their tickets at all." The investigation, which started last October, was funded by the UK football policing unit working in partnership with the Football Association and the Premier League.
