LONDON, England – Kenneth Gaba, 38, was caught by police touting the two tickets for the tennis in Wimbledon, south west London, on Saturday.
Officers became suspicious when they saw Gaba, who was on holiday in London from Vancouver, carrying a newspaper strangely.
Having followed him to a bus stop they saw another man give him £100 for the two tickets and swooped to arrest him.
The Canadian said he was only trying to get the money back for the tickets he had bought legitimately as he had lost his friend and didn’t want to watch the tennis on his own.
