An Edinburgh raid was part of a series that took place across the UK to clamp down on people providing illegal streams to more than half a million customers.
Capital police along with forces from Glasgow, the Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) City of London and Stoke carried out the actions that saw four people arrested on suspicion of illegally streaming premium content to over 500,000 people.
Officers say that there was a large amount of IT equipment and mobile phones that were acquired after search warrants were used to search four premises in February. But police did not stop there as over 200 ‘cease and desist’ notices were sent to individuals who were understood to be involved in illegally streaming TV services.
