Two More Arrests Made In Operation Yewtree Investigation
Officers from Operation Yewtree have arrested two men on suspicion of sexual offences, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed.
A 53-year-old man was arrested at an address in Hampshire.
A second man, aged 59, was arrested in west London and taken into custody at a London police station.
Scotland Yard said the arrests were not connected to the allegations made against late BBC presenter Jimmy Savile.
Operation Yewtree is the Met's investigation into allegations, some dating back decades, which have arisen since Savile was accused of abuse.
The operation has three strands: one is looking specifically at the actions of Savile, a second strand concerns allegations against "Savile and others", and the third strand, under which the two men were arrested on Wednesday, relates to alleged complaints against other people unconnected to the Jimmy Savile investigations.
These men are the ninth and tenth to be questioned as part of the police operation.
