A scammer who sold fake tickets for Liverpool's 2022 Champions League final in Paris against Real Madrid conned football fans out of £40,000, police have said.

Lee Waldron, 41, was convicted at Liverpool Crown Court of acquiring, using and possessing criminal property.

Det Ch Insp Chris Maddocks, from the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit (NWROCU), said: "The impact on the victims in this case has been significant, and it highlights the importance of purchasing tickets from reputable sources."

Waldron, of Norbury Road in the Kirkby area of the city, was jailed on Monday for 21 months.
