LONDON — British police investigating the fraudulent sale of tickets to events, including last year's Beijing Olympics, have arrested a sixth person in connection with a company that collapsed in August.

The Serious Fraud Office said Thursday that police this week arrested and released on bail a 65-year-old man in Surrey.

Xclusive Tickets failed to deliver thousands of tickets it had sold for concerts, festivals and the Beijing Games.

The SFO and London's Metropolitan Police began an inquiry in September into the company and its parent, Xclusive Leisure and Hospitality Limited. Four men and a woman were arrested in November.

The International Olympic Committee and U.S. Olympic Committee have taken legal action against the operators of XL&H, Ltd., alleging the company posed as a source of legitimate tickets to the Beijing Games.
