A 35-year-old-man has been arrested as part of the investigation into phone hacking at the News of the World, Scotland Yard has said.
Officers from Scotland Yard's Operation Weeting arrested the man at 05:55 BST after a swoop on his home.
He was taken to a north London police station for questioning on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept voicemail messages.
The man is currently still in custody at the police station.
A total of 16 people have now been arrested on suspicion of phone hacking since Operation Weeting - Scotland Yard's fresh investigation into the illegal interception of voicemails - was launched in January.
Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks and ex-Downing Street communications chief Andy Coulson are among those who have already been arrested as part of the inquiry.
The scandal has led Met Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson and Assistant Commissioner John Yates to resign, and the News of the World to close down after 168 years.
