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.
Two men aged 45 and 46 were arrested in Wandsworth, while a 39-year-old man was held in Greenwich.
The three women arrested were a 39-year-old detained in Cheshire, a 33-year-old in Islington, and a 40-year-old in Lambeth.
They were being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept telephone communications contrary to the Criminal Law Act 1997.
The News of the World was closed down by its publisher News International in 2011 following the outrage over hundreds of cases of phone hacking.
News International has confirmed that two of the latest arrests relate to people currently working for its Sun newspaper. A spokesman said that he did not believe the other four people are employed on News International titles.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said all the suspects had worked for the News of the World.
It added: "In due course officers will be making contact with people they believe have been victims of the suspected voicemail interceptions."
Operation Weeting is being run alongside two other Scotland Yard investigations: Operation Elveden, an inquiry into allegations of illegal payments to public officials and Operation Tuleta into computer hacking and other privacy breaches.
There have now been 32 arrests under Operation Weeting. Fifteen people have been charged and four have been told no further action is to be taken against them.
