Seventies "glam rocker" Gary Glitter was at the centre of a child pornography investigation yesterday over images allegedly stored on a computer he took for repair, police sources said.
Glitter - whose real name is Paul Gadd - was arrested by police Tuesday after staff in a computer store allegedly found indecent pictures as they sought to repair a fault on the machine.
Officers later searched his country retreat near Bristol and his London flat and seized a quantity of videos and indecent pictures of children.
Glitter was questioned by detectives in Bristol before being released on police bail. He has not been charged.
