A journalist from The Sun newspaper has been arrested by British 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.

A spokeswoman from News International said: "We can confirm a journalist from The Sun was arrested this morning."

The man is the seventh person to be arrested as part of the computer-hacking inquiry.

Police said they were releasing no more details for "operational reasons".

So far, 24 people have been arrested as part of the phone-hacking inquiry, called Operation Weeting, and 41 as part of an investigation into alleged corrupt payments to officials, Operation Elveden.
