Oklahoma City police arrested three men accused of selling counterfeit Thunder playoff tickets to multiple victims.

According to police, last week, members of the department’s Santa Fe IMPACT Unit began investigating counterfeit Thunder playoff tickets being sold. The victims had purchased fake tickets through Craigslist transactions.

Officers arranged to buy several tickets through a Craigslist ad that 30-year-old James Keener had posted online. After meeting Keener downtown, officers said they determined all the tickets Keener was selling were counterfeit.

Keener was arrested and taken back to the Chesapeake Energy Arena, where six additional victims identified him as the person who sold them counterfeit victims.

According to police, IMPACT officers then went to the motel where Keener had been staying. They learned that two other suspects who had been staying with Keener had just left in a cab headed for the airport. Patrol officers stopped the cab, and 41-year-old Derrick Anderson and 46-year-old Wajeeh Baker were both taken into custody and transported back to the Arena. Five additional victims identified Anderson and Baker as suspects who had sold them fake Thunder tickets.

The suspects had a significant amount of cash on them. Police said a total of 29 counterfeit Thunder tickets were recovered.

Police said additional charges may be filed, as the investigation is ongoing.
