LONDON (Reuters) - British police investigating the alleged theft of advance copies of the eagerly awaited new Harry Potter book said on Thursday they had arrested four people.
Copies of 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,' to be published on June 21, were found earlier this week dumped in a field.
Police said in a statement that two 16-year-old boys and two men aged 18 and 44 were held in raids in Suffolk, eastern England late on Wednesday.
They were due to question the four, all from Suffolk, on suspicion of theft and trying to obtain property by deception.
