A man has been arrested in connection with an investigation into computer discs containing offensive material that were left outside homes.

The 35-year-old man from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, was detained on suspicion of possessing and distributing indecent images.

A number of CDs, covered in symbolic writing, have been found in streets and gardens in Buckinghamshire.

Thames Valley Police has warned people not to open them on their computers.
