Police finally arrest the man who leaked the ‘Expendables 3’ movie.

Several months ago, ‘Expendables 3’ was leaked online weeks before the movie premiered in theaters drastically affecting how much money the franchise sequel made. According to Deadline, a joint investigation with U.S. Homeland Security and City of London police, law enforcement was able to arrest the man who pirated the ‘Expendables 3’ movie.

A man has been arrested in the UK in connection with the illegal leak of Expendables 3 and other films. The arrest is the result of a joint investigation between the UK’s Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations and the MPAA. The 26-year-old man, whose name has not been released, was arrested at his workplace in Leeds on Thursday morning. His Halifax home was also searched for evidence of wrongdoing.

“I’d like to thank the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit at the City of London Police for working with U.S. Homeland Security Investigations to apprehend the suspect in this case,” Sylvester Stallone, who wrote and starred in Expendables 3, said in a statement released to the press. “It is important to protect the rights of creatives around the world from theft.”
