A 61-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of phone hacking.
According to the BBC, the man is believed to be former News of the World editor, Greg Miskiw.
He was arrested by officers from the Met Police after visiting a police station by appointment.
The Metropolitan Police's Operation Weeting is investigating claims some reporters for the News of the World hacked into the messages of celebrities and public figures between 2005 and 2006.
Miskiw, who was a news editor, is the twelfth person arrested and is being held on suspicion of unlawful interception of communications and conspiring to intercept communications.
The paper was shut down in July after it emerged that the phone of murder victim Milly Dowler may have been hacked.
