UK police say sex crime inquiry into singer Cliff Richard expanding

LONDON: British police investigating allegations of historical sex crimes against Cliff Richard, one of Britain's best-known entertainers, have said their inquiry into the singer had "increased significantly in size".

Officers raided the home of Richard, 74, in Berkshire, west of London, last August, when he was on holiday, over allegations, which dated back to the 1980s and involved an under-age boy.
