A woman has been arrested accused of fraudulently obtaining money meant for Grenfell Tower survivors and bereaved families.
Scotland Yard said the 39-year-old was detained on Tuesday and had been bailed to return on a date in late August while they investigate further.
It is claimed she is neither a survivor of the tragedy nor someone left bereaved, but attempted to fraudulently get her hands on cash meant for those affected.
The arrest follows a wave of convictions against fraudsters who attempted to profit from the disaster.
A man yesterday pleaded guilty to claiming £81,000 in money and accommodation by pretending he lived in the tower before the devastating fire last June.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed five people have so far been convicted on fraud-related charges, five further suspects have been charged and "a number of other investigations are ongoing".
A spokeswoman added: "The Met will continue to investigate anyone thought to be fraudulently profiting from the tragic event.".
