Ex-News of the World staff held over 'phone hacking'
Six journalists from the now defunct News of the World have been arrested by police investigating allegations of phone hacking at the newspaper.
Scotland Yard said three men and three women were held in London and Cheshire.
It said its Operation Weeting investigation had "identified a further suspected conspiracy to intercept telephone voicemails".
Police said the case relates to 2005-2006 and was separate from its earlier inquiry which has seen charges laid.
