Sun reporter arrested at Wimbledon

By Press Gazette

A journalist from the Sun has been arrested working as a
security guard at Wimbledon days before the start of the tournament.
Police have confirmed that a man in his twenties
was arrested on Friday, June 17, following security checks.
And a spokesman for Group 4 Securicor said that a journalist from a
national newspaper was arrested on suspicion of obtaining pecuniary
advantage.
The arrest comes just days after The Sun prompted
a security shake-up at Sandhurst military academy after an undercover
reporter from the paper walked unchallenged around the grounds for
several hours with a fake bomb. The reporter was not arrested on that
occasion and left the academy with video footage showing Prince Harry
training.
