A man was arrested by police investigating a series of alleged attacks on an adult store has been released on bail.
The man was detained following alleged incidents at Clonezone, an adult store in Manchester's Gay Village. The Sackville Street store, beside Canal Street, had its windows smashed by vandals three times in just six weeks, police said.
The first alleged incident happened on March 22, prompting the venue to issue an emotional public statement. It read: "Windows can be broken but the LGBTQIA+ community cannot." Its glass front door was then smashed on the evening of April 13, GMP said.
The third incident happened on the evening of April 24, shortly before 6pm, as staff were still working inside.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters took to social media Friday night to defend himself — as he often has in recent years — against charges of antisemitism, saying that “my recent performance in Berlin has attracted bad faith attacks from those who want to smear and silence me because they disagree with my political views and moral principles.” His statement followed on the heels of Berlin police telling news media that they had opened an investigation into Waters’ behavior and imagery at his arena concerts in Berlin. Waters did not directly refer to the news of the German police investigation in his post. “The elements of my performance that have been questioned are quite clearly a statement in opposition to fascism, injustice and bigotry in all its forms,” Waters wrote on Facebook. “Attempts to portray those elements as something else are disingenuous and politically motivated. The depiction of an unhinged fascist demagogue has been a feature of my shows since Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ in 1980.”
