Jeremy Colman, the ex-Auditor General for Wales, has been arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images.

Colman quit his £170,000 a year job last week "following an internal review around matters of personal conduct". Reports suggested IT staff had found pornographic material on his laptop.

South Wales Police told the BBC [1] that it was called in the following day.

Colman, 61, of Dinas-Powys, has been bailed until 3 March. He ran the Welsh spending watchdog for five years. ®
