British police say that they have arrested a man from south London on suspicion of sabotaging packets of Nurofen Plus painkillers with anti-psychotic and epilepsy drugs.

A spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police Service said the unnamed 30-year-old man had been arrested in Bromley in the south of the capital on "suspicion of contamination of goods".
"The man is currently being held for questioning at a south London police station," the spokesman told AFP.
Five contaminated packets of Nurofen Plus were found in Britain in August, prompting a national health warning and the recall by the manufacturers.
Four of the affected packs contained Seroquel XL, an anti-psychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia, mania and bipolar depression, and two people accidentally took the drug but suffered no harm.
The epilepsy drug Neurontin was found in another packet but no one was thought to have taken it.
