Former News of the World US editor James Desborough will face "no further action" in connection with the phone-hacking investigation, the Metropolitan police has confirmed.

In a statement on Tuesday afternoon the Met said it had ended the reporter's bail and he would face no further action.

Desborough was the 11th person arrested under Operation Weeting when he went to a south London station by appointment in August last year and was identified by Scotland Yard by the letter K. He was released on bail later the same day until March 2012.

The Met said: "On 18 August 2011, officers from Operation Weeting arrested a 39-year-old man [K] in connection with phone hacking. He was today, Tuesday 27 March, released from bail with no further action."
