Teenager arrested over Bestival tickets fraud

Bestival is taking place on the Isle of Wight and continues over the weekend

A teenager has been arrested after complaints about the non-supply of tickets for Bestival music event.

Ben Hyland-Ward, 18, from Brighton, was arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation and released on bail.

More than 60 complaints have been made about tickets for the festival on the Isle of Wight which had been paid for but not received, Sussex Police said.

It is thought the tickets had been offered at a large discount.

Bestival is being held between 10 and 13 September with Duran Duran, The Chemical Brothers and Missy Elliot headlining.

Mr Hyland-Ward has been released on bail until 10 November, a police spokesman said.
