The raid is targeting over 30 suppliers
Homes across the UK have been raided as a crackdown on illegal streaming using illicit Firesticks continues.
The raids, led by a number of police forces and the anti piracy body Federation Against Copyright Theft started in November.
FACT have now released a full list of locations where the raids are taking place.
The crackdown focused on areas of London, Cheshire, Kent, Sussex, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, the East and West Midlands, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Northumbria, and North Yorkshire.
The operation is targeting more than 30 suppliers who are selling the devices.
As part of the operation, a 42-year-old man was arrested in Newport on suspicion of his involvement selling illicit Firesticks.
Others were visited in person and handed cease-and-desist letters.
FACT said the raid is the latest clampdown on illegal streaming operations, with courts also imposing tougher sentences on those who break the law.
Last month, 29-year-old Jonathan Edge from Liverpool received a three-year jail term for selling and using illegal Firesticks.
He was sent cease and desist letters but chose to carry on the illegal activity leading to the Premier League taking him to court.
Chief executive of FACT, Kieron Sharp, said: “Our cease-and-desist measures are not just warnings—they are the first step toward holding offenders accountable.
“If you’re supplying or using illicit streaming devices or illegal IPTV subscriptions, take this as a clear warning: you are breaking the law and risk facing serious consequences.
“To those using illegal streaming services, the message is that you’re not just committing a crime; you are putting yourself at risk.
“These services often expose users to malware, scams, and data theft, with no recourse when things go wrong.”
The firesticks known as jailbroken Firesticks are ones that have been hacked to allow access to extra apps, however using these devices to access things like pirated video games is illegal.
