Police seize fake Champions League tickets from house in Winsford
A 37-year-old man is to be voluntarily interviewed by officers
Police have raided a house in Cheshire in response to intelligence on the supply of fake Champions League football tickets.
The search warrant was carried out at an address in Winsford on Wednesday 25 May.
Merseyside Police - who undertook the search - seized a number of suspected fake Champions League Final tickets, along with a computer and mobile phone. Officers say their enquiries remain ongoing.
A 37 year-old man is to voluntarily attend an interview for questioning on offences under the Fraud Act at a later date.
Chief Inspector Andy Rankine from Merseyside Police said: “We will act on information in relation to the supply of fake tickets and I would encourage anyone who can assist us to get in touch.
"To ensure that people do not fall victim to fraud our advice would be to always use official, legitimate and authorised websites to purchase tickets and be aware of fake ticket websites run by scammers
“I know that a lot of Liverpool fans are desperate to get their hands on Final tickets but if you were not lucky enough to get one in the ballot then please don’t be tempted by offers that sound too good to be true.”
