Operation Elveden: Five held in police payment probe Former managing editor Graham Dudman is understood to be among the arrested journalists
Four former and current Sun journalists and a police officer have been arrested by detectives investigating payments made to police by journalists.

Scotland Yard said the men, aged 29 to 57, were arrested at addresses in London and Essex.

The 29-year-old, a serving officer in the Metropolitan Police's Territorial Policing Command, was arrested at his work - a central London police station.

News Corporation said it would continue to pursue "legitimate journalism".

Offices at News International in Wapping are currently being searched.

The BBC understands the arrested journalists are ex-deputy editor Fergus Shanahan, ex-managing editor Graham Dudman, crime editor Mike Sullivan and head of news Chris Pharo.
