From CNN:
London (CNN) -- A journalist at Rupert Murdoch's British tabloid newspaper The Sun was arrested Monday on suspicion of culling information from stolen cell phones.
Police announced the arrest without naming the suspect, while a source close to the newspaper's publisher, News International, confirmed it was Nick Parker.
...
The arrest is the latest in a long-running police investigation prompted by illegal eavesdropping at the defunct Murdoch tabloid The News of the World, which has expanded into probes of computer hacking, bribery and corruption.

Same story from The Register:
(The) arrest is the eighth one under Operation Tuleta, which is a probe into criminal breaches of privacy being carried out in tandem with the ongoing phone-hacking inquiry (Op Weeting) that has engulfed News International, the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper publishing arm of News Corporation.
The Met confirmed that the unnamed man is a journalist who is currently attending a central London police station by appointment.
Scotland Yard said in a statement:
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.

This Nick Parker fellow, 51, is the chief foreign correspondent for Murdoch's The Sun. He had already been arrested back in February on suspicion of police bribery, as part of Operation Elveden. Guy sounds like a real prince.
UPDATE 1:
From AnnetteK in the comments, some exciting news breaking in The Guardian:
The Metropolitan police has won a high court order giving detectives access to a statement in which the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire names those who he says ordered him to hack phones at the News of the World.
Justice Vos said at a high court hearing on Monday that it would be wrong if Met officers investigating alleged crime at the now-defunct Sunday paper were "kept in the dark" while investigating "serious allegations" of wrongdoing.
Vos added that there was "plainly a public interest" in the investigation of potential crime and although Mulcaire was "one brick in a very large wall", the statement should be handed over.
