An offer of a free Banksy print to people who vote against the Conservatives is being investigated by police.

Avon and Somerset Police has received a number of complaints over the secretive street artist's offer.

Applicants from six Bristol constituencies have to send him a ballot paper photo showing a vote against the Tories to get the print.

Police said anyone taking part in the offer could also be prosecuted.

A police spokesman said: "We've received a number of complaints about an offer of a free Banksy print to people living in six Bristol constituencies in exchange for them voting in a certain way in the forthcoming election and we can confirm we're investigating the offer.
