Six former News Of The World journalists have been arrested by Scotland Yard officers in relation to phone hacking.
The journalists, two of whom now work for the Sun, were arrested as part of a new enquiry into the scandal.
The Metropolitan police said it had identified a further suspected conspiracy to intercept voicemail messages by three men and three women between 2005 and 2006.
All of the suspects are journalists or former journalists and all but one were detained in London.
The arrests involved a 46-year-old and 45-year-old man in Wandsworth, a 39-year-old man in Greenwich, a 39-year-old woman in Cheshire, a 33-year-old woman in Islington and a 40-year-old woman in Lambeth.
The group is being interviewed at police stations in London and Cheshire.
Searches are being carried out at each of their homes.
None of those arrested has been arrested before.
"Detectives on Operation Weeting have identified a further suspected conspiracy to intercept telephone voicemails by a number of employees who worked for the now defunct News of the World newspaper," the Met said.
"In due course officers will be making contact with people they believe have been victims of the suspected voicemail interceptions."
