LONDON (AP) – Scotland Yard says officers from its specialist cybercrime unit have arrested the suspected spokesman of the LulzSecurity hacking group.

In a statement release, the police force said the 19-year-old was arrested at an address in Scotland's Shetland Islands on Wednesday.

They said he is the name behind the hacker known as Topiary, who has given several interviews in recent weeks.

LulzSec, an offshoot of the amorphous hacking collective known as Anonymous, has claimed responsibility for a series of hacking attacks on both sides of the Atlantic -- including here in the valley.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety was hacked in June.
