Lambeth councillor Toren Smith 'indecent images' arrest
A south London councillor has resigned after being arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children.
Toren Smith, a Labour councillor in Lambeth, was arrested on 21 May.
A Metropolitan police spokesman said: "A 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of downloading indecent images. He has been bailed pending further inquiries."
A Lambeth council spokesman said: "Toren Smith has resigned for personal reasons and is no longer a councillor."
He added: "Given this is a private matter it would be inappropriate for us to comment further."
A by-election in his ward of Tulse Hill is now due to take place on 1 July.
