Blackburn men jailed for 14 years over digital tv scam
 
Defo not gonna do this lol

THREE Blackburn men have been jailed for a total of almost 14 years for their part in a digital TV scam.

Police seized 200 set-top boxes after raiding four houses and two industrial units in Blackburn, along with a house in Preston, in April 2008.

Sergeant Colin Dassow said: “This was a highly successful operation and Lancashire Constabulary is pleased to have been able to work in partnership with Virgin Media to target people illegally benefiting from the proceeds of crime.

“I would urge the public to be aware that using set-top boxes that have been illegally modified to receive digital TV subscription channels for free are committing a serious criminal offence, and officers are continuing enquiries to speak with those who still continue to do so.

“Anyone receiving channels that should be paid for are at risk of being prosecuted.”
