Re: Illegal Box Users Arrested
It's good to see that Virgin Media can be proactive about the illegal use of equipment. It's just a pity that these arrests aren't publicised more. I shall be very surprised if any of the national daily's bother to pick up on the story.

A spokesperson for Virgin Media said: "We have been investigating this for just under a year through our in-house security team, who include a lot of ex-police officers.

Re: Illegal Box Users Arrested
Sounds like they caught out the suppliers of boxes rather than the users, also...

Re: Illegal Box Users Arrested
Surely tip offs would still come in to the investigating team whilst an investigation was in progress. May be a late piece of information could be the final piece of a jig saw. Don 1 asked what we would do a day before the raids were made so I for one am not going to start questioning his integrity.
What ever the sequence of events action has been taken and it looks as though 200 of the illegally modified boxes have been kept out of circulation.

Re: Illegal Box Users Arrested
Gotta love the local rag:
Quote:
A resident on Assheton Road, who did not want to be named, said: "There were four or five big police vans that turned up and raided two houses.
"I saw them taking lots of things out in boxes. They were there quite a while."
|
Quote:
|
An eyewitness from Mill Hill Private Hire, which operates from the industrial unit next door to the one raided, said: "There were lots of police and they took a lot of stuff out.
|
The local perspective really does make you think about these issues

Re: Illegal Box Users Arrested
More than likely that the police discovered other illegal activities while they were ransacking the various premises.

It does actually - The colleagues who went on the raid were in Manchester, getting ready for the op weeks before you even posted mate.
