Police will visit 1,000 homes this week as part of a crackdown on illegal TV streaming. Customers to be targeted have been identified from a huge database in a major ongoing criminal investigation, reports The Mirror.
Officers will knock on doors this week and homeowners could face prosecution. The crackdown comes after raids against a UK-based illegal streaming service offering entertainment and sports via modified boxes. The new purge is against people who try to watch Premier League games, football from all over Europe and other sports and movies on the cheap.
Police have joined forces with anti-piracy investigators from FACT in “Operation Raider” and the knock on the door is likely to come as a huge shock. They will potentially be served with notices, be ordered to stop immediately and be warned of serious consequences.
