LONDON, July 31 (UPI) -- British police said they arrested a reporter for The Sun newspaper as a part of an investigation into computer hacking.
The 37-year-old suspect reported to a police station by appointment and was taken into custody as part of the computer hacking probe Operation Tuleta, running alongside the ongoing Leveson Inquiry into phone hacking.
The Daily Telegraph reported he was the ninth person arrested in Operation Tuleta, suspected of involvement in an alleged conspiracy to gather data from stolen cellphones.
The arrest follows that of Sun chief foreign correspondent Nick Parker, 51, and Sun reporter Rhodri Phillips, 35, as a part of the same investigation.
"The arrest relates to a suspected conspiracy involving the gathering of data from stolen mobile phones and is not about seeking journalists to reveal confidential sources in relation to information that has been obtained legitimately," a Metropolitan Police spokesman told The Telegraph.
