Police said they did not believe the phones of any members of the royal family had been tapped. But other public figures may have had their calls intercepted, raising potential security issues, the police said. They refused to specify who.

Police did not identify those who were arrested, but the News of the World tabloid said Clive Goodman, editor of its section on royalty, was among them.
