Two people arrested over Pippa Middleton iCloud hack
Police investigating the hacking of Pippa Middleton’s iCloud account to get hold of her pictures have arrested two people and searched a house.
A 36-year-old man and 34-year-old woman were arrested at 5.45am on 11 January on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and possession of a false identity document with improper intent.
A property in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire was searched.
The arrests relate to an investigation which began last year after claims that the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister had her iCloud account hacked.
It is then alleged that the hacker tried to sell thousands of images to a newspaper.
A Met Police spokesman said: “The man and woman were taken into custody at a south London police station and have since been bailed to return to the police station on a date in mid-March.”
