Met Police have arrested a Sun journalist as part of the inquiry into computer hacking
A journalist from The Sun newspaper has been arrested by police investigating alleged computer hacking.
The man - understood to be reporter Rhodri Phillips - was held at his home in north London on Thursday morning by officers from Operation Tuleta, which runs in conjunction with the phone-hacking investigation.
He is the seventh person to be arrested as part of the computer-hacking inquiry.
A spokeswoman from News International said: "We can confirm a journalist from The Sun was arrested this morning."
Scotland Yard said they were releasing no more details for "operational reasons".
So far, 24 people have been arrested as part of the phone-hacking inquiry, Operation Weeting, and 41 as part of an investigation into alleged corrupt payments to officials, Operation Elveden.
