An art gallery selling paintings by Rolf Harris has
been vandalised.
Threats were
made against the Triton Gallery, in Torquay, Devon, if it did not remove the
artwork, staff have confirmed.
Black paint was
smeared over the shop window early on Tuesday morning, Devon and Cornwall
Police said.
Mr Harris, 83,
has been questioned by police over historical allegations of sexual offences.
He was arrested on 28 March and bailed until May.
A police
spokeswoman confirmed officers were called to reports of criminal damage at the
gallery where it is suspected a man smeared paint on the window with his hands.
She added
"specialist cleaning", which had cost about £300, was required to
remove the paint.
The force said
it did not know the motive behind the vandalism and the man was being sought.
Gallery staff
confirmed it would continue to sell Mr Harris' paintings.
