A third person has been arrested in connection with alleged corrupt payments made to police officers.
Scotland Yard said a 63-year-old man was arrested in connection with allegations of corruption at an address in Surrey by officers investigating phone hacking.
This follows the release of former News of the World editor Andy Coulson and ex-Royal Editor Clive Goodman on police bail.
In a statement, Scotland Yard said: "The Metropolitan Police Service has this evening arrested a member of the public in connection with allegations of corruption.
"At 8.22pm officers from the MPS' Operation Weeting together with officers from Op Elveden arrested a man on suspicion of corruption allegations contrary to Section 1 of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906.
"The man, aged 63, was arrested at a residential address in Surrey. A search is ongoing at this address."
Operation Weeting is the new investigation into phone hacking while Operation Elveden is the investigation into allegations of corrupt payments to police.
