Police to visit 1,000 homes in crackdown on illegal football streams and "fire sticks"

This week police are set to visit one thousand homes as part of a crackdown on illegal television streaming.

Police are said to have identified a large database as part of an ongoing criminal investigation and are set to knock on doors of people to warn them that they could also face prosecution.

According to the Mirror, the crackdown comes after a raid by police in England against a UK-based illegal streaming service offering entertainment and sports via modified boxes, so-called “fire sticks” and subscriptions.
